Rockers Top Romie’s at ASA “B”

Friday, August 31st, 2007


(click logo for official site)

The River City Rockers mercied Romie’s Angels 8-0 in 5 innings. Mario Pereira led the game off with a solo home run off Tony Hunhoff to pace the Rockers. Rusty Newnan and Dany Blanco added each two-run shots. With Scott Harrison ( two hits) on 3rd and Kary Moore on first, the Rockers ran the “pickle play”. Moore starts a steal of second…stops…catcher throws down to second…Harrison breaks for home & scores…Moore into second. This was the same play “run” against Kelder in the opening extra inning game of the NAFA “AA” game to tie the game up and propel the Rocker’s to a 3rd place finish.

The umps have “settled” down and quit trying to call everything. The Rockers play Tiffany’s from Michigan in a 9 am match up with Tiffany’s bringing both pitchers from the Priority Mortgage team at the NAFA “AA” tourney and setting up an elimination rubber game.

Note Alex’s proviso that only the first 24 teams are guaranteed spots. From there, they will be accepted only in groups of four. (28, then 32). There will be no more than 32 teams. Reserve your spot now. And for you fans that are going to Orlando just for fun, remember to book your trip well in advance as you’ll save a bundle on airfare, etc. By comparison to some tournaments, this one can be done inexpensively if you plan in advance.

ISC’s “Diamond Dirt”, Final 2007 Issue

Friday, August 31st, 2007

We are pleased to share the final issue of this year’s “Diamond Dirt”, produced daily at the ISC World Tournament, and handed out to fans in attendance, by the editor himself, John Thompson.

“Diamond Dirt” was a daily, full-color handout produced and distributed each day, which included stories on games and events from the prior day, and color photos to boot. John worked tirelessly to get the “Diamond Dirt” out, submitting it to the printers early in the morning, and walking it around the complex at lunchtime and into the afternoon.


(John Thompson, editor of “Diamond Dirt” personally delivering to the fans at the ISC World Tournament at Kitchener)

And just for good measure, John was the man behind the outstanding, professionally produced 2007 ISC World Fastball Tournament program. If you haven’t seen that one yet, find someone who has one. It is a work of art.

Click here to view the final 2007 issue of “Diamond Dirt”, August 31, 2007. (PDF, requires Adobe Reader)
