The Kitchener Fastball League (KFL) has had its last meeting and is ready to start another great season.
We ended last year with the Phoenix Outlaws becoming the league champs for the 2nd year in a row. They defeated the regular season 3rd place finisher Waterloo Classics, 3 games to 1, in the finals.
On the B Side, we saw the Breslau Midgets (playing this year under the name of the Predators), defeat the Bulldogs 2 games to 1, after a tough round robin series including 3 other teams.
This year, with 12 teams in the league (10 returning from last year and 2 new), sets up a 22-game schedule that begins next Monday, May 15 at Budd Park in Kitchener – home to the ISC II ToC in August. The season kicks off with the surprise team of last year, the Breslau Black Sox (formerly Majors) who finished 2nd overall in the regular season, going up against the previously mentioned Predators.
Games to watch out for this year will be May 30 where the B Finals from last year will be reprised with the Predators going up against the Bulldogs and June 7, where the Classics and Phoenix will meet in a rematch of the league finals.
The teams in the KFL this year include:
Bell Cartage
Black Sox
Bulldogs
Cambridge Reds
Phoenix Outlaws
Predators

Shakespeare Falcons
