On behalf of the ISC, I want to thank Tim Wright, Nate Awde and the Innerkip Eagles along with Innerkip Parks & Rec for hosting this weekend’s qualifier. The entire team did a fantastic job in getting four diamonds ready for play by 1 pm Saturday after torrential rains overnight. Thanks also to Peter Kluszczynski, Doug Cundall and the entire Blue Crew for great work all weekend. More thank you’s to Joe Todd, Doug Bach, Rick Boyd, Jim Marr and Chris Bach for game controlling. A big shout out to Jim Flanagan and Al Doran for getting all of the results posted virtually as they happened. I heard from several people who couldn’t make it in person that it felt like they were there. Lastly, I want to thank the teams, players and fans for supporting the event, for their patience while we revised the schedule due to the rain and for their exemplary play all weekend. Congratulations to the Cubs, Blue Devils & CPI on earning berths to the 2009 ToC – see you in Quad Cities!
Cheers,
Blair
