#16 Wyevale Tribe in tough

May 25th, 2008

Playing their first weekend in the ISC Canada East Travel League, #16 Wyevale Tribe are in tough against three top 20 ISC teams. Of note for Wyevale, in the game their ace, Jason Giffen, pitched, they gave the ISC #12 Jarvis Gamblers a close game. We wouldn’t expect Bell or McLean to be logging many innings come time for the qualifier or the ToC.

We also note the success of last year’s ISC II T3 Niagara Snappers, who enter the season ranked #20 in the ISC.
