McDoo A’s win the Kingston Fastball League

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Behind strong pitching from Barry and Jeff Van Hooser, the McAdoo A’s claimed their fifth consecutive Kingston Men’s Fastball League title with a 2-0 win over the Red Dogs Monday night at Garrigan Park.

The A’s won the best-of-five series 3-2 with the victory in the fifth and deciding game.

Chad Miller drove in Scott McDonald to open the scoring and Dave Baird homered in the fourth for an insurance run.

2010 Wyevale Tournament

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

Wyevale, ON

2010 Tournament Particulars
Dates: June 25-27
Entry Fee: $400
Prize Money: $2,500 Total ($1,500 for 1st)
# of Teams: 12
Pitching: ISC II Only
Location: Elmvale & Wyevale
UIC: Doug Cundall

The 2010 edition of the Wyevale Tournament will mark the 11th consecutive year that the Tribe has organized this annual event held in Elmvale & Wyevale. The tournament itself is a local tradition that is nearly 50 years old, and the Tribe is honoured to be carrying on a tradition that is so deeply rooted within our community.

The 2009 tournament was a resounding success both on and off the field, and the 2010 version will undoubtedly build upon the momentum created by last years competition.

In 2009 the Port Elgin Blue Devils defeated the Kitchener Outlaws in the championship game, and in doing so claimed the $1,500 1st prize. Noteably the Blue Devils went on to claim the ISC II TOC crown in Rock Island, IL. When asked after the TOC championship game by a Springwater News journalist ‘if there was a single reason why they were able to complete their magical chamionship run in 2009’, manager Jim McKinnon replied ‘There are many things that go into winning a championship, pitching, hitting, defence, but the single biggest factor for us this year was participating in Wyevale’s tournament”. (Note: Interview may not have actually taken place.)

Port Elgin – 2009 TOC Champs, 2009 Wyevale Champs
