The assault on the record book continued at the ISC II Tournament of Champions on Tuesday. Leading the way is Corey Costello of the Micksburg Twins… On the heels of his 20-strikeout perfect game vs Orangeville, Costello struck out 20 again, tossing a no-hitter against Reading, PA Bob Hoffman’s Garage, with only a walk spoiling another perfect game… Not content with that, Costello came back at 5 pm to strikeout 15 against the defending champion Elmira, ON Cubs in a 3-0 win setting up a potential 3-way tie for first in pool A … Costello has 55 strikeouts in three games … Thomson, IL Area Merchants were facing elimination and needed to beat the host Bridgeport, ON PROforma Braves 3-2 on the strength of a 16-strikeout, 5-hit performance from Jonas Mach who now has 66 strikeouts in 4 games pitched… Kitchener Phoenix Outlaws clinched first place in pool F finishing 4-0 in the round robin with an upset 6-5 win over Elora Brewers … Setting up action Wednesday, Alvinston can wrap up first place in pool D with a win over Palermo, but a Palermo win forces a three-way tie for first … Colorado Rage can force a three-way tie for first in pool A if they can beat Orangeville … The winner of Waterdown & California (1 pm on www.ballparkradio.com) will finish in second in pool B … a Black Gold win over Harriston (11 am on www.ballparkradio.com) coupled with a Rise win over Up-to-Date Painting (9 am on www.ballparkradio.com) could set up a three-way tie for first in pool C … Mitchell Mets will win pool E while Glencoe will finish second … Needing wins to have a chance to qualify are Ashland, playing Mitchell, and CPI playing JRW … the winner of Elora-Stittsville will likely advance to the playoffs while the loser will go home … in pool G, Ottawa’s win over Tavistock would set up a 3-way tie with those two teams and South Lebanon TNT if the latter can beat Toronto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
