May 30, 2006
The Snapper Shoot-Out is about to get underway in 3 days time. There will be 16 of the best intermediate teams from Canada and the U.S. competing for more than $2500 in cash prizes. The tournament kicks off on Friday June 2nd at 7:00pm and concludes with the finals on Sunday June 4th at 4:00pm. Opening Ceremonies featuring Niagara-on-the-Lake Lord Mayor Gary Burroughs, ISC II Commissioner Blair Setford, and the Snapper Executive Committee are scheduled to run from 8:45pm until 9:00pm on the Friday night. If you are in the Niagara area over the weekend, stop by for a burger and a beer and catch a few games of high caliber ISC II fastball.
The tournament takes place at the Centennial Arena and Sports Park in the beautiful town of Virgil, ON. Niagara-on-the-Lake, St. Catharines, and Niagara Falls are all a 5 minute drive from the park.
Directions to the park, a printable schedule, copies of the rules, and a great promotional poster, which is running in all the local papers this week, can be found on the Niagara Snappers web site at www.niagarasnappers.com
We will be sending Game Summaries to Al’s Fastball every night after the action concludes to keep all the fastball fans updated on the days games.
