CR/Portland Strikes Gold in Portland

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

Brian Ree Homers, Terry Luster Picks up Title Game Win

Host CR/Portland won their own tournament, the well-established Rose Cup tournament for the first time Sunday, with a 6-1 win over the So Cal Bombers. Portland made it to the championship game last year, but finished second to the Vancouver Grey Sox. In 2006, however, it was a perfect 7-0 weekend. Brian Ree homered in the championship game, while pitcher Terry Luster picked up the win, over the Bombers’ Travis Price. One imagines that the So Cal Bombers can relate to the satisfaction Portland derived by winning the tournament after finishing second in 2005. The Bombers themselves claimed a title at Red Rock after finishing second there in 2005.

The So Cal Bombers finished with a 6-1 record for second place, while Team Rainey was 5-1 for third place.

Rose Cup Sunday Bracket

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

Lots of scores here. Click here to view bracket.

Just three teams left. Host Portland is back in the finals for the second year in a row, with two So Cal giants squaring off in a semi-final matchup that will determine Portland’s opponent.

The bracket is up to date as of this posting at 1pm PST. Only three
teams remain. Just three teams left. Host Portland is back in the
finals for the second year in a row, with two So Cal giants, Team
Rainey and the So Cal Bombers squaring off in a semi-final matchup
that will determine Portland’s opponent. In the most dramatic game
of the day, Portland and Vancouver squared off in a quarterfinal game,
a rematch of last year’s championship game, which Vancouver won. This
year, it was Portland’s turn, with Mike Piechnik picking up a 5-4 win
in 8 innings over hard throwing Nick Underhill. Portland led 4-1
before Vancouver tied it and sent it into extra innings.

The Larry Miller Hogs of Salt Lake City, Utah gave the So Cal Bombers
a run for their money, before falling 5-2. The Bombers led midway,
2-1, but the Hogs tied the game at 2 in the 4th. Ryan Brand came on
in relief to pick up the win for the Bombers.

The Bombers will face local So Cal rival Team Rainey, who always seems to play their best at Portland. Rainey was in the finals in 2003 and 2004. Young Argentine Sebastian Gervasutti has three wins while Bricklen Anderson has two, for their 5-0 record thus far. Team Rainey is ranked # 24 in the current ISC rankings, while the Bombers are #8. Rainey opened the Rose Cup tournament yesterday morning with a 4-1 win over #6 ranked the Vancouver Grey Sox.

Prince George Black Bears, BC won their morning game, but departed
early, forfeiting their semi-final with Portland.

Rose Cup Tournament Saturday Scores (Portland, OR)

Sunday, June 25th, 2006

ISC World #24 Ranked Team Rainey Upsets #6 Ranked Vancouver Grey Sox

Click link below for the complete scoreboard for the Rose Cup Tournament in Portland, Oregon. We’ve been sending out emails to our mailing list “The Fastpitch” as well. Click link at bottom of main page at www.fastpitchwest.com for “mailing list” to sign up.

Rose Cup Scoreboard

Team Rainey scored their biggest win of their season Saturday, a 4-1 win over the defending Rose Cup champion, the Vancouver Grey Sox, behind their newest addition, young Sebastian Gerutti from Argentina. Sebastian notched two wins Saturday, with mainstay ace Bricklen Anderson picking up one in his start, for a perfect 3-0 Saturday for Team Rainey.

The ISC World Rankings just released this week pegged Vancouver as #6 in the world, while Team Rainey is # 24. Vancouver entered the tournament as the highest ranked team, with the So Cal Bombers right behind, at #8. Like Rainey, the Bombers were a perfect 3-0 Saturday, with each of their three pitchers picking up a win, Travis Price, Tony Peeples and Ryan Brand.

Sean Whitten, who shone brightly at Red Rock while pitching on loan to the Bombers, notched two wins Saturday for the Prince George Black Bears of British Columbia.

So Cal’s Mark Bennett picked up two wins for the host team, CR/Portland, with teammate (and Team USA star) Terry Luster picking up one in the nightcap, giving Portland a 3-0 Saturday. Portland was the runner-up in last year’s tournament, making it to the championship game against the Vancouver Grey Sox.

The ISC II’s #16 ranked team, the Colorado Rage had a big day, knocking off the ISC World #23 ranked Houston Aces. Houston has been one of the hottest teams in the country over the past 4 weeks, upsetting #5 ranked Patsy’s at Red Rock and finishing second, followed by a title at the ISC Qualifier for the Texas region. They struggled to score runs in Portland, scoring only 1 run in three games. They beat A-1 Tank 1-0, after getting shutout 1-0 in a pitching duel between the Colorado Rage’s Kurt Tabashnuik and Houston’s Wayne Wells, before falling to host Portland, 6-0 in the nightcap.

ISC II Teams:

ISC II #16 Colorado Rage finished with the best record among the ISC II teams, with a 2-1 record, with their second win coming over a former ISC II team, A-1 Tank.

ISC II #14 ranked Lumberkings finished 1-2, notching a win over ISC II #22 JRW Associates, falling to two ISC World Tournament teams, the So Cal Bombers and the Prince George Black Bears, of British Columbia.

ISC II #22 JRW Associates also faced stiff competition, going 0-3 while playing up in classification. Like the Lumberkings, JRW had to face two of the ISC World’s best, the So Cal Bombers and Prince George Black Bears.

Play continues Sunday, in single elimination bracket play.

Vancouver Grey Sox Results in Saskatchewan – June 15-18

Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

Report on Vancouver Grey Sox from Ducks Unlimited Tournament in Sasketchewan, Canada:

Vancouver, BC

The Vancouver Grey Sox traveled to Saskatchewan last Thursday for a doubleheader in Saskatoon on June 15 and the Ducks Unlimited Tournament in Melfort June 16-18. The Grey Sox were declared the winners in all games played, and the champions of the Ducks Unlimited event.

Under the Skins format for the Ducks Tournament the Grey Sox were able to advance to the final after picking up 6 Skins v. 4 Skins for SoCal Bombers, although SoCal scored 6 runs in the top of the first inning and the actual final score was 6-5 for the Bombers. Unfortunately, the Ducks Tournament fell almost two hours behind schedule on Sunday due to rainouts the previous day that were made up in full on Sunday, and a 16-16 extra inning marathon semi-final between Fargo Kegal Black Knights and Prince George on the Main Diamond. Thus the final, won 6-4 by Vancouver over Kegal, was severely time-restricted.

Monkton – World Fastball Inv. – Update

Tuesday, June 20th, 2006

From Al’s Fastball:

Monkton, Ont.

We are all set to go!!

The 3rd edition of the World Fastball Invitational is little more than 1 week away, and I’m very excited to give you some much anticipated updates regarding the tourney.

First, I must mention to my friends Larry Lynch and Keith MacIntosh; congrats on both of you pulling off “miracles” in simply getting your tourny’s in. Well done! Poor weather is every tourny directors nightmare and you showed amazing resolve, professionalism, and dedication by making the best of some horrible weather. Speaking on behalf of all players or teams involved, thanks for your hard work – it is very much appreciated.

Now, where to begin with our own tourny. Well, we’ve put the finishing touches on our infield surface, and now boast what I think is a “world class diamond”, complete with newly installed
lighting! Final adjustments were made just last week, and I must say they light up the night brilliantly! Contractors have been, and will continue to be busy installing new and additional electrical and high-speed internet lines, plumbing, broadcast centre, food booths, and of course – our “famous” beer tent! – complete with our major sponsor “Bud-Light” on tap. www.budlight.com
