Shaw Chiropractic looks to contend for Tournament title

Kurt Schieman hopes for a better showing the second time around in the Shaw Chiropractic Fastpitch Softball Tournament.

A year ago, the host team — Shaw — went 1-2 in pool play and failed to qualify for the single-elimination tournament.

“If we played six weekends, we might have six different winners,” said Schieman, whose squad opens the 10-man tournament 7 p.m. Friday against Sweaburg (Ont.) Crush at Pine Grove Park.

“It should be tough competition. You’re looking at a lot of 3-2 and 4-2 games.”

Shaw is the lone area team in the event, which will be played at Pine Grove Park and 16th Street Fields.

Ashland (Ohio) Stock Pack, Alvinston (Ont.) Indians and Waterdown (Ont.) Hammer shared the title a year ago when a storm wiped out the final semifinal game and finals.

The tournament is an International Softball Congress national qualifier.
