ISC World Tourney
The ISC World tourney gets going on Friday August 10th with 32 teams participating in Kitchener. The finals are on Saturday August 18th and the format is a bracket style with a three game guarantee.
Some notes of interest to local fans:
* The Elmira Cubs have moved up from the ISC II level to the World stage. Stittsville's Dan Bradley will be pitching for Elmira in the World Tourney, up until Team Easton's first game in the ISC II Tournament of Champions. The ISC has agreed for a few players to do this, and Dan is one of them. Good luck on the big stage Dan. First game for Elmira (unranked) is on Saturday against the Quad City Sox from Iowa (ranked 16). If they win that, they will likely face Patsy's of New York City, ranked #2 in the world.
* Elkland, Pennsylvania is participating in their first WT this year. They have a couple of players familiar to the area to pitch - Morrisburg's Jason Smith (an occasional member of Manotick in the GOFL) and Gregg Garrity of Kingston.
* Big Z, Darren Zack is back at the World Tourney again this season. He'll be throwing for an all-native team called the Horse Lake Thunder, from Alberta. The team features players from Alberta, BC and Ontario. It will be interesting to see how they fare.
* The Napanee Express are entered in the tournament, with players that were part of their midget & junior programs over the last few years. Andy Madden and Jordan MacDonald will throw for the Express.
* Orillia is one of the highly favoured teams at the tourney with a #3 ranking. Cornwall native Dan Loney patrols the outfield for the Riversharks.
* Peterborough has an entry in the World Tournament known as the Murphy Windmillers, led by Sylvia Ryan. Wayne Wells, a long time veteran of the fastball scene in central Ontario will pitch, along with Scott Evans. Craig Buttar will suit up for the team as well as playing for Team Easton in the ISC II tourney in a similar arrangement as Dan Bradley.
* Scarborough Royals, a junior team from the Toronto area will be in the tourney. Matt Bowman from the GOFL's Orleans Gators is on their roster for the event. Chad Hargrove was also going to play with the Royals but he is out for the season and now unable to play.
