ISC # 2 ranked Kitchener Rivershark Twins beat ISC # 1 ranked Broken Bow Travelers in the winner’s bracket final. Broken Bow prevailed over the Minnesota Angels, who finished 5-2 in the tournament. Minnesota got good pitching performances from Juan Potliccio, Mitch Hardy and Kevin Kammueler, and appear to be a team on the rise as it heads towards Midland next week for the ISC World Tournament. Among the wins in South Bend for Minnesota, # 13 in the rankings was a win over the # 4 ranked New York Gremlins.<\/p>\n

Another team that appears to be peaking at the right time is #25 ranked Marshall Lightning. The Lightning finished fourth in the tournament, falling in the loser’s bracket semi-final to the #13 ranked Minnesota Angels by a 1-0 score. The Lightning advanced to that game with the tournament’s biggest upset, a 2-0 win over in-state-rival, #6 Midland Michigan Explorers.<\/p>\n
