Editor’s Note: Great post below from our good friend Adam Brown of Fitzroy Harbour. Note the name of the winning pitcher for Team Easton on Sunday … none other than ISC II strikeout king Corey Costello. Is Costello making the trip to Appleton with Team Easton? No one knows for sure, but he is on the roster.<\/em><\/p>\n

Beautiful weather, a great venue, and a superbly run tournament were in store for the eight fastball teams that attended the 1st annual Gil Read Memorial Fastball Tournament in Ottawa Ontario on July 4th-6th 2008.<\/p>\n

The Carp team, sponsored by I4C Consulting and normally playing under the name \u201cI4C Victory\u201d, entered the tournament as the \u201cI4C Pirates\u201d and wore yellow and black \u201cPIRATES\u201d jerseys as a tribute to Gil Read. Gil coached several of the Carp players during their younger days with the Kanata Pirates minor softball team. Carp was without many of its regular players for the weekend, but picked up some local players to fill the holes, including two former Kanata Pirates in Tony MacDonald and Chris Read. The starting infield for Carp\u2019s Friday evening game consisted of five players who grew up playing together and learning the game from Gil Read. <\/p>\n

In the round-robin portion of the tournament, Carp finished 2nd in their pool with wins over the Greely DNTW Eagles and Ed Taylor\u2019s Team and a loss to a combined Fitzroy\/Manotick squad playing as Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric.<\/p>\n

In the quarter finals, Carp defeated the Kingston Cobras midget squad and then avenged their loss to Fitzroy with a win in the semi-finals. That set up a final against the #6 ranked Team Easton Thunder, who added former national team member Jeff Seed and ace pitcher Cory Costello to their roster for the weekend. In the end, Easton prevailed by a score of 4-1, but were it not for some outstanding defensive plays by Easton\u2019s shortstop Pat O\u2019Connor and outfielders Dave Tubman and Cory Morrison to snuff out some Carp rallies, the score could have been much different.<\/p>\n

Offensively, Costello and Seed led the way for Easton, with Costello driving in three of Easton\u2019s four runs. Costello also pitched and earned the win with relief from Dan Bradley. Neil Cooke went the distance in a losing cause for Carp.<\/p>\n
