#OCC2015 And so another ISC fastball season wraps up here in Canada East with the conclusion of the 2015 Laverne Reichert Memorial Ontario Challenge Cup.
We congratulate Sweaburg Crush for winning the the 2015 OCC, after finishing runner-up in 2014 (and in several other years, too). Sweaburg not only ran the table, going 5-0, they ruled on the scoreboard, outscoring their opponents 26-1. Only Sebringville Sting managed to plate a run against the Crush in the winner bracket final. Kyle Crawford and Ty Sebastian were dominant for the Crush, giving up only 9 hits in the five games, with Crawford tossing a no-hitter, one-hitter and three-hitter to go 3-0 as the top pitcher. Sebastian was the unofficial MVP, leading the tournament with 4 HRs and 12 RBIs while picking up 2 wins on the mound. The Crush win a paid berth to the 70th Annual ISC World Tournament to be held in Moline, Illinois in August 2016. We thank all 12 teams that joined us in Jordan for the weekend, as we brought a major men's fastball tournament to Lions Park for the first time in a long, long time, to the delight of many fans who came out over the course of the weekend. We greatly appreciate their spending their time with us, especially ISC Fan Ambassador Margaret Ryan! George Lemaich put together a great blue crew of Ed Otterman, Trevor Topping, Mike D'Abreu, Mike Brito, Fred Malatches, Paul Mastalerz, Adam Hook and Rob Straetmans. Thank you for your outstanding work! Wes Short and the entire Jordan Jays team did a FANTASTIC JOB as rookie hosts, showcasing a great complex as well as exemplary scorekeeping skills! Thanks for having us in Jordan - we look forward to returning in the not too distant future. Bill Linwood, of the Jordan Lions Service Club, led the grounds crew who kept us on schedule. We also thank Al Doran & Jim Flanagan for helping us share our results worldwide and a huge THANK YOU to ISC Statistician Gary Baughman for his tireless devotion to the game, prepping a full tournament stats package which is located at http://www.alsfastball.com/news/10205/16/2015-Ontario-Challenge-Cup-OCC2015.html Lastly, we offer our deepest sympathies to Kyle Smith and family on the passing of Bob Loveys late last week. Our heartfelt condolences go out to all of you. Best regards, Blair Setford & Joe Todd | ||
