2007 Tournament Results

Posted by Eric Rosenquist at Jun 17, 2007 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Congratulations to Local Heroes who defeated Murray's Refrigeration 7-5 in the "A" final, and to Medaglia Auto Imports who defeated Restore-All 8-3 in the "B" final. The "A" semi between Joe Johnson Equipment Inc and Murray's Refrigeration went to extra innings, and the other between Local Heroes and Amsted was decided by a single run which was scored with two out in the top of the seventh. To see individual game results, go to the Schedules section of the web site and select "2007 Tournament" as the Season. Scott Jessiman (Murray's Refrigeration) won the home run derby on Saturday afternoon, hitting 5 home runs in 10 swings during the final round. Thanks to all who participated, and to Al Read (Restore-All) who organized the derby. A big thanks to the Carp I4C Victory team from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League for running the BBQ behind diamond #1 on Saturday and Sunday, and to all of the players who helped out by looking after league equipment or picking up garbage. Thanks also to David Boyle and his staff at The Broadway Bar & Grill for hosting our pub night on Friday, and to Labatts for the t-shirts and ball caps they donated.

Tournament Weekend

Posted by Eric Rosenquist at Jun 10, 2007 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )
Our annual mid-season tournament is this coming weekend, June 15-17 at the Bridlewood Core Park diamonds. Check the "Schedules" or "Calendar" section of the web site for the full schedule. Pub Night The Broadway Bar & Grill across the road from the Bridlewood Core Park diamonds will be the location for our pub night on Friday after the games have finished. We're working with Labatt and the Broadway and hope to get some prizes from them, plus there will be a 50-50 draw and other league fundraising activities. The Broadway has booked a two-girl band called "The Divas" to provide live music this Friday. Pass the word and plan to attend! BBQ As they did last year, the I4C Victory team from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League will be running a BBQ behind diamond #1 to raise money for their team. It was very well received last year and everyone seemed to enjoy having good food available at the diamond. Volunteers If you have high-school children that would like to do some volunteer work toward their required 40-hour total, please have them contact Al Read (aread@lwlaw.com) as he will be coordinating things that weekend. We�re looking for a few kids to help rake the infield between games, pick up garbage, and run errands as needed. The work will not be physically difficult and we will sign their volunteer form for as many hours as they are at the diamond and helping out, so it will be a great way to get them closer to fulfilling their volunteer requirements.
