New Website for Oshawa City and District Fastball League

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

From Al’s Fastball:

Oshawa City & District Fastball League

The History of Softball in Oshawa and District

The Oshawa City and District Softball Association is one of the oldest organized softball bodies in Ontario and one of the first to enlist under the banner of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association (O.A.S.A.).

Oshawa’s first O.A.S.A. team entered provincial playdowns in 1924. In 1926 Oshawa’s first city-wide softball association was organized and in1927 Juvenile and Junior leagues, as well as the existing Intermediate League were formed. Originally named the Oshawa “City and Industrial” League the organization grew by leaps and bounds. It eventually embraced other leagues such as the “South Ontario League” and “Oshawa Church League” both of which played an important part in establishing softball in Ontario but fell victims to the depression years of the early thirties.

Later, as small communities in the immediate suburban district requested permission to affiliate, so that they might carry on, the organization was re-named the Oshawa City and District Association. The leadership and help given to the neighbouring communities has proven a wise and far-sighted move as they continue to provide executive and teams and are the backbone of today’s league.

Bridgeport Braves Capture South Perth Ontario Men’s Fastball League Title

Monday, September 19th, 2005

[Alsfastball] South Perth Men’s Fastball League – Bridgeport rolls!

By way of background, the South Perth league in Ontario, Canada is one of the best intermediate fastball leagues in North America. This year’s champions, the Bridgeport ON Braves played in the 2005 ISC II at Chippewa Falls, WI, making the playoffs, but falling to eventual champion, the Elmira ON Cubs. The Tavistock Merchants who finished as the runner-up in the South Perth league was the runner-up in the 2004 ISC II in Fargo, North Dakota. To get to the finals in the South Perth league, Tavistock beat the Sebringville Sting, a name familiar to So Cal fastball fans — they were the team that came out of the loser’s bracket to beat Team Rainey twice for the 2002 NAFA “AA” World Series title at Salem, OR.

Dale Lopes, Black Sox Respond to ASA Controversy

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Dale Lopes of the Long Beach Black has posted a response to the ASA in regards to the controversial call in this past weekend’s So Cal ASA Alliance tournament.

To read the So Cal ASA website statement on the controversy, click here.

In response to the statement posted at the Cal ASA website, Lopes stated:

“Players have a duty for proper sportsmanship, but that does not give umpires the right to confront players. In the letter it states I was asked repeatedly by my team to leave the field and that was not the case at all. They as I do deserve to know why the call was made and a proper explanation of the call and we got neither.

In my opinion if you are going to hold players to a certain standard of conduct than the umpires in return should be held to that same standard. To whoever wrote this article, if you are going to call out names of players involved in this incident, and you are using their names in a negative aspect, you should also name the umpires involved and sign your name to this article.”

Vancouver Grey Sox Stay Hot, Run Record to 31-4-1

Tuesday, July 12th, 2005

Vancouver, BC

GAME 1 Vancouver Grey Sox 3-7-0 Vancouver Meralomas 0-4-1
WP- Rick Smith (11 K’s)
LP- Derek Mayson

The Sox scored a single in the fifth and two in the bottom of the sixth. The Meralomas loaded the bases in the first with two scratch singles, but Smith worked out of it and was in command the rest of the way. CF Scott Newitt tallied the first run and went two for three with a double and a walk to lead the Sox offence.

GAME 2 Grey Sox 3-6-0 Meralomas 2-3-2
WP- Nick Underhill (11 K’s)
LP- Mike Egerdeen

The teams traded runs until the seventh when Scott Newitt dashed home on an Evan Potskin single to end a tight game. Potskin had a pair of hits and Derek Mayson slugged an RBI triple for the Lomas.

GAME 3 Grey Sox 5-7-0 Meralomas 0-2-1
WP- Rick Smith (10 K’s)
LP- Derek Mayson

Potskin scored single runs in the first and third to give the Sox an early lead. DP Bryan Mayson delivered a three run homer in the bottom of the sixth to salt away the win. Once again Smith shut out the opposition.

GAME 4 Grey Sox 13-15-2 Meralomas 4-1-2
WP – Nick Underhill LP – Dean Webster

A six run uprising by the Grey Sox in the second inning put the game out of reach early. The Sox pounded out 15 hits in a ragged affair. C Kris Waverick and SS Kevin Schellenberg drilled homers while OF’s Jeff Kawaguchi and Potskin each had 3 hits.

The Grey Sox 2005 record is now 31-4-1. We will be off for the next two weekends while several players participate in a training camp for the Canadian National Team.

Next action is the Vancouver Challenge Tournament July 29-31, featuring Broken Bow, Saskatoon Aspen Black Sox, Calgary Smokers, the Grey Sox, Prince George Black Bears, and Van City. Conrad Margolis, Vancouver Grey Sox From: “Conrad Margolis” conradmargolis@telus.net
