Midland Explorers Tournament – June 14-16, 2013

Midland, MI – The Midland Explorers will be returning for their 27th season in 2013. After hosting the 2010 and 2012 ISC World Tournament, the Explorers will continue to move foward as a team and a program.

For starters, the Midland Junior Explorers will be taking the field again in 2013. After getting started in 2012, we’ll be expanding a bit to a 4-weekend schedule, culminating with the ISC U21 Championship in Quad Cities.

For the 12th year in a row, the Explorers will host an early season tournament at historic Emerson Park and Currie Stadium. This will be an ISC World Tournament qualifier, with a 4-game guarantee, round-robin format. Dates are June 14 – 16. We have hotel rooms held at the Midland Resort, and look forward to helping kick off the ISC season in Midland. Teams interested in participating can contact me.

The team will be playing the following schedule in 2013:

June 14 – Midland, MI tournament
June 21 – Kimberly, WI tournament
June 28 – Port Huron, MI tournament
July 12 – Tavistock, ON tournament
July 26 – Midland, MI – Michigan ASA State Open Tournament
August 1 – South Bend, IN – ASA Major National
August 10 – Quad Cities, IA – ISC World Tournament

Our roster is almost complete with some new faces, and returning veterans. We still have a couple spots to fill and will do so at a later date.

Pitchers – Doug Gillis, Andrew Putnam
Catchers – Camden Decker, Steve Roberts, Dustin Collamer
Infielders – Kyle Beane, Steve Horning, Eddy Ketelhut, Todd Moore
Outfielders – Shea Bryant, Blaise Zimmer, Catlin Porter
