Caveman in Elkland

The Caveman accompanied me this past weekend to the Molly Sherman Memorial tournament in Elkland, PA. This was his first trip to Elkland and he seemed to enjoy himself as I had hoped he would. I helped coach (and played a little bit) for CanAm Power which was a combination of Broker4Tickets / Team Quebec and a few guys from Pennsylvania.

Here is the "Caveman By the Numbers" for this past weekend:

5: Servings of french fries consumed from Molly's Red Barn.

1: Chicken dinners eaten, smearing his hands and face with grease.

200: Approximate number of practice pitches he threw to me in between games and innings over the weekend.

6: Number of times he heckled an umpire for a call he thought was incorrect.

5: Number of times he asked awkwardly in front of the team "When are you going in, Daddy?" somewhat suggesting (incorrectly) that I could do a better job than the guys in the lineup.

1: Combination chirp / cheer comment when I came up to bat.

1: Exclamation of surprise when I actually got a hit.

3: Number of times sunscreen was applied due to the blazing sun and 35 C temperature.

2: Number of times he said "Are you sure you should have another one?" after my first Yuengling on Saturday.

1: Number of times he pretended to be French Canadian when talking to a local woman, then got complimented on "speaking English so well".

14: Consecutive hours he watched ball on Saturday.

5: Consecutive hours he watched ball on Sunday.

0: Number of times he said he was bored or wasn't having fun.

As a bonus, a few Caveman quotes from the weekend:

"Are you sure we are at the right place?" (As we drove into the parking lot at the complex.)

"That.....was amazing!" (After watching Mathieu Roy grab a deep gapper to left-centre field on one hop, pivot, turn and fire a dart to second base, holding a batter to a single on what looked like at least a triple.)

"Wait a minute, that's not the same Cookie from I4C Victory." (After I greeted ESA's Jeremy Cook at the park on Saturday morning.)

GOFL Wednesday night round up (with an update)

Reports from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League:

I4C Victory 9 Kars Aces 0

In the first game, I4C Victory won 9-0. Cody Price had the win, allowing no hits. Luke Severson took the loss with relief from Cory Alkerton

Kars Aces 6 I4C Victory 5
from Chad Milne


After getting shut out in the first game of their doubleheader against I4C, Kars Aces looked to rebound in the nightcap, sending Brad Porter to the mound against Andrew Putnam for the visitors.

Porter threw a spotless 1st inning allowing the Aces to take the lead in the bottom half. With one out, Kristian Knapp hustled a single into a double and Nick Ellis followed with a walk. Cory Morrison then hit a fly ball to centre field that Knapp tagged up on, but an errant throw to 3rd base allowed Knapp to score, putting the Aces up 1-0 after one inning.

I4C tied the game with a run in the 2nd inning and took the lead with another run in the 3rd inning. In the bottom of the 3rd, Pender walked with one out. Knapp followed with another walk bringing Nick Ellis to the plate. With the count full and after fouling off several tough pitches, Ellis launched a high fly ball just over the right-centre field fence for a 3-run home run, putting the Aces up 4-2.

A scary incident in the 4th inning. Shane McNish came on in relief of Putnam. With one out, Chad Milne hit a rocket back up the middle that dusted off McNish’s hat, just narrowly missing his head. McNish regrouped to set down the next two batters to complete a scoreless 4th inning. The 5th inning was also scoreless.

I4C retook the lead in the 6th, scoring three runs thanks in part to some sloppy defensive work by the Aces.

Kars tied the game 5-5 in the bottom of the inning. With two out, Brad Pender hustled a single into a double, stole third and then scored on a passed ball. Cory Alkerton, who came on in relief of Porter in the 6th, held I4C scoreless in the 7th and then hit a bases loaded single in the bottom of the 7th to give the Aces a 6-5 win.

Ottawa Valley As 10 Micksburg Twins 4

Up the valley, the Ottawa Valley As pulled off a 10-4 win over the Micksburg Twins. Todd Wilson was the winning pitcher with relief from Adam Rueckwald. Corey Costello started and had relief from Matt McIntyre.

More to follow (hopefully).

Trust your teammates - ISC initiative

from Blair Setford

It is Mental Health Week in Canada. This serious, life-altering condition affects one in five Canadians and far too often, people suffer in silence, unwilling to ask for help because of the stigma around mental health problems. 

The Ballpark Broadcasting / ISC Network team is producing a public service video this summer to support good mental health initiatives. We need your help. 

When your team is together at the park, use your phone or an iPad to take a video of your team saying: TRUST YOUR TEAMMATES! 

Email the clip to Blair Setford and your team will be included in the PSA video to be debuted during the ISC World Tournament in August.

Our game of fastball is a team game. We need to encourage any teammates who may be suffering in silence to trust that asking for help means wanting to make positive changes. To take steps towards new mental health goals.

Getting help is part of recovery. 

We look forward to seeing contributions from across North America and hopefully from around the world!
