Mitchell, ON<\/p>\n
Faithful fastball fans interested in satisfying their fix of fine fastball should look to attend the 15th annual Mitchell Mets intermediate tournament in Keterson Park, Mitchell this weekend, June 10-12.<\/p>\n
The usual 16 men’s teams, many from the South Perth Men’s Fastball League, will compete in the men’s division, while eight ladies teams will vie for the ladies division crown.<\/p>\n
An interesting twist in all this is the appearance of the Australian Under-19 men’s team, which will play in the 16-team men’s draw. The Aussie Colts will play the Chepstow Aces Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. Win or lose, they will again take to the field at 3 p.m. Saturday. The Aussies are flying to southwestern Ontario and play a series of exhibition doubleheaders before taking off to PEI for the ISF Jr. Men’s World Softball Championships.<\/p>\n

Game 1 – Friday, June 10, ISC II #1 Smully’s Tavistock Merchants vs. Mitchell Parmalat Midgets, 7 p.m.
