July 2nd, 2009

Playing a pair of five-inning games on Canada Day in Drayton, the South Perth All-Stars tied the three-time World Champions New Zealand Black Sox 2-2 in the opener and then dropped a 2-0 decision in the nightcap.

Sebringville’s Don Scott and Dan Martin, with the Elmira Expos, split the pitching duties in game one, while Heinie Shannon and Ben Enoka took the mound for the Black Sox. Kevin Gutscher of the Expos had a two-RBI triple to account for the South Perth runs.

In game two, Casey Halstead, of the Expos started for the All-Stars and struck out six in three innings of work. A throwing error helped lead to the two New Zealand runs. Fred Follings, of the Shakespeare Falcons, closed out the final two innings, giving up a triple to Brad Rona. Enoka started for the Black Sox and went three innings, followed by two innings from Marty Grant.

ToC Roster Update

July 1st, 2009

July 15 Deadline for Tournament Program

July 15 is the deadline to submit an updated roster to appear in the Quad Cities Tournament Program for both ISC World Tournament and ISC II Tournament of Champions teams.

Hopefully, each manager retained a copy of their preliminary roster submitted in May. With that copy, simply make any changes you want and email it to the addresses shown on (the bottom of) the roster form itself.

For the ToC, email rosters to:
Larry Koberg lhkoberg@midamerican.com
Blair Setford blairjs@rogers.com
Jim Williamson jrwilliamson@foodfacility.com
Hank DeWild hdewild@milwpc.com

If you failed to keep a copy of the roster form, you may request one from:
iscken@comcast.net for World Tournament teams
blairjs@rogers.com for ISC II teams

Teams failing to submit a revised roster by July 15 will have their May roster printed in the tournament program.

This July 15 deadline is firm for the tournament program.

Teams will have a final opportunity to make roster changes before the championship tournaments – August 10 will be the final day for those changes.

If questions, let us know. iscken@comcast.net or blairjs@rogers.com
