No, the Texaco Pirates of Man-O-War Bahamas are not in this one, though we understand that one of their regular pitchers, Edney Bethel is pitching on a team that has won the tournament previously.
Speaking of the Pirates, it looks like they will be featured in the next issue of Softball Magazine, along with a story on the 2007 ISC II Tournament of Champions from Kitchener. It’s due out shortly at newstands and to subscribers. If you don’t subscribe and want to, visit their website, www.softballmag.com
Softball Nationals Begin Thursday
By Gerrino Saunders
The Bahamas Softball Federation will host its 2007 National Championship this weekend beginning on Thursday October 18th to Sunday October 21st at the Blue Hills Sporting Complex. Championship teams from Andros, Long Island, Eleuthera, Abaco, Grand Bahama, New Providence will slug it out for the national fast pitch crown. The weekend of the 2006 men’s nationals held in Eleuthera was marred by relentless rainstorms, but through it all Eleuthera defeated New Providence for the title. The federation, coaches and players are hoping for much better weather this year. Friday’s weather is predicted to be perfect with partly sunny skies and winds up to 14 km/h. On Saturday the forecast reads clouds and sun with possible thunderstorms, and on Sunday the things are expected to improve with a mixed bag of sun and clouds with winds up to 12 km/h. The defending men’s national champions are from Savannah Sound, Eleuthera.
