July 23, 2007 – The International Softball Congress is pleased to release the streaming schedule for the 2007 ISC II Tournament of Champions being played in Kitchener and Cambridge.

“We are planning to cover 17 round robin games plus 10 more in the playoffs for a total of 27 games with the possibility of 28 if there is a tie-breaker required,” said ISC II Commissioner Blair Setford, adding that 27 of the 35 teams will be covered during the round robin games.

And, if all goes according to schedule and plan, the ISC II championship game will be video streamed for the first time.

6th Annual Pete Schwab Memorial Results

July 21st, 2007

Results of the 6th Annual Pete Schwab Memorial Men’s Fastpitch Softball Tournament (ISC II level)
Frankenmuth, MI
July 13-15th, 2007

18 teams fastpitch teams from Michigan, Ontario, Indiana, and Ohio competed in this years Pete Schwab Memorial Tournament held in Frankenmuth, Michigan with Priority Mortgage (Grand Rapids, MI) beating Blenheim Home Run Restaurant (Blenheim, ON) in the finals by the score of 4-0.

Priority Mortgage earned a berth in the finals by beating the Michigan Twisters (Midland, MI) 5-2 in the semi-finals, while
Blenheim “fought” the #18 Alvinston Indians (Alvinston, ON) to an emotional 8-4 victory in the other semi-final.

Other playoff teams included Kelder’s Poured Walls (Ludington, MI) who lost 5-2 to the Twisters in a first round playoff game
and the host team, Up-to-Date Painting (Millington, MI) who were out-hit by Alvinston 10-8. Up-to-Date won a 1-0 sudden-death playoff against the Blues (Hastings, MI) to advance into the playoffs.

MVP pitchers were Duke Vanderark & Tracy Boetsma from Priority Mortgage, each pitcher having 3-0 records. MVP hitter was Rick Rutledge from the Twisters who batted 9 for 12 with 4 walks.

The four-game round robin format draw was made to force match-ups among teams not in the same league and not typically facing each other. A four hour rain delay on Saturday morning forced most of the pool play games to be started in the 3rd inning. I would to extend a sincere thank you to all the teams, fans, players, and umpires (led by UIC Dave Selden) for their patience and good spirit throughout the weekend.

We are already looking forward to next year’s event as rooms to the 3rd floor of the Bavarian Inn Lodge (over-looking the
fields) are already being reserved.

The results after round robin play were as follows:

St. Thomas All-Stars win battle

July 13th, 2007


STDMFL ALL-STARS DOUBLE ST. THOMAS

Last evening, before an estimated 200 fans, the St. Thomas & District Fastball League’s finest players were on hand, for the 2007 edition of the St. Thomas & District Major Fastball League All-Star game. Heavy clouds held off, as a beautiful evening of 9 inning ball was enjoyed by the fans, in an entertaining All-Star battle.

Last year’s 2006 STDMFL Playoff Champions, the St. Thomas Storm had the honour of facing off against the 2007 STDMFL All-Stars.

The STDMFL All-Stars opened the game in the top of the first inning, with some serious offence. Mark Johnson sparked the attack with a solo homerun to deep centre field. After a one out Joe Triest infield single, Jason Dawdy clobbered a first pitch strike, for a two run home run, and a 3-0 lead for the All-Stars.

In the third inning however, St. Thomas would return the favour, plating three runs of their own off of Blenheim starting pitcher Rob Fawcett, and knotting the game at 3’s. Jamie Peat singled for St. Thomas, Kevin Lynch reached on an error, and then Peat scored on a pass ball to score St. Thomas’ first run. Aaron Gould then followed with a 2 RBI single, scoring both Lynch and Lessard to tie the game.

The League All-Stars would take the lead in the top of the fifth, when after a Scott Smith infield single, he eventually scored on an RBI single by Rowan Lam. On the mound for the League All-Stars was Shedden hurler Mike Joseph in the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings. Joseph sat down the St. Thomas order in order, allowing no hits, while fanning four Storm swingers.

In the top of the seventh, the STDMFL All-Stars would add to their lead, adding two runs. Mark McCallum reached base on a fielder’s choice, and Norm Logan followed with a single. With runners on first and third, Calvin Miller walked to load the bases, and Jason Dawdy’s RBI fielder’s choice (his third RBI of the game) plated McCallum, while Norm Logan folllowed him home, after an error by the Storm.

Now with a 6-3 lead in the game, the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings belonged to Glencoe pitcher Shaun Winship. Winship would keep St. Thomas’ offence at bay, striking out seven Storm swingers, and earning the save as he preserved the 6-3 victory for the STDMFL All-Stars over the St. Thomas Storm.

Mike Joseph was named the 2007 STDMFL All-Star game MVP, as he retired St. Thomas in order in his three innings, with no blemishes on his outing on the evening, while earning the victory.
