Saturday summary

It was the favorites -- the highest ranked teams in the tournament, Broken Bow (ISC #1) and Victoria Travellers Inn (#6) finishing the day with perfect 3-0 records. Gerald Muizelaar posted two wins, while Frank Cox picked up the third for Broken Bow. Broken Bow started out the day defeating the Vancouver Grey Sox 8-0, then Morgan Transfer 3-1 and Team Rainey 4-1. Broken Bow continually capitalized on their opponents mistakes, and made few, if any of their own.

Meanwhile, big Collin McKenzie was virtually unhittable, pitching two perfect games in the same day, including a 19 strikeout performance in their first game of the day. If anyone knows of a pitcher who has ever accomplished this feat, I would like to hear about it. Thanks to Victoria's scorekeeper, Allen Duddridge for providing the information from Victoria's games, which is posted below. (Heard in the hotel elevator where Victoria is staying "Collin, I was going to buy you dinner if you threw three perfect games, but since you "only" threw two, no deal")

The #2 seeds went to two Vancouver teams, the Vancouver Grey Sox and the Linus Software Stealers, with 2-1 records. Castlewood Utah was also 2-1, grabbing the #3 seed in the A pool, based on their head to head loss to the Vancouver Grey Sox.

Meanwhile everyone else beat up on each other, and finished with 1-2 records, with seeding determined according to tie breaker formula. The 1-2 teams included:

Morgan Transfer
Bodle Chiro
Portland DeMarini
CR Adidas
Meraloma Club
Team Rainey
Leafs
Larry Miller
and the
River City Rockers
