July 23, 2007 – The International Softball Congress is pleased to release the streaming schedule for the 2007 ISC II Tournament of Champions being played in Kitchener and Cambridge.

And, if all goes according to schedule and plan, the ISC II championship game will be video streamed for the first time.

The streaming signal for all of the games can be accessed through www.ballparkradio.com as well as through www.iscfastpitch.com.

The BallPark Radio crew in the booth at the ToC will consist of returning voices Jim Flanagan, Kyle Smith, Joe Todd, Lance Winn, David Bakker and Blair Setford. Joining the team is Steve Sabourin, of CKNX radio – and the voice of the Monkon World Fastball Challenge – who will be doing a pair of round robin games on Wednesday afternoon/evening and a pair of quarter-final games on Friday afternoon.

Don’t Miss the USA Softball Men’s National Team on ESPN2 this Weekend

Oklahoma City, OK —The USA Softball Men’s National Team is set to make its television debut on July 22 at 12 p.m. CST on ESPN2. The game being aired on a tape delay basis is a match-up between the USA Softball Men’s National Team and the Japanese Men’s National Team during round-robin competition at the KFC American Challenge Series.

This marks the first time in the history of the USA Softball Men’s National Team program that a game has been televised by the ESPN family of networks. Although the game is being shown on a tape delay basis it is still considered a milestone for the USA Softball Men’s program.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase the men’s fast pitch game to the entire country,” said ASA Executive Director Ron Radigonda. “We had great crowds during the KFC American Challenge Series and encourage those fans who didn’t make it to Oklahoma City to tune in and watch the USA Men’s team take on Japan.”
