The induction ceremony will be held in Canada at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Tilley enjoyed a distinguished softball career at both the national and international level. He was an original member of Softball Canada&#8217;s Men&#8217;s National Team formed in 1983, and was a national team player for 12 years. During that period, he played a major role in Canada&#8217;s four Pan American Games gold medals (Caracas 1983, Indianapolis 1987, Santiago de Cuba 1991 and Parana, Argentina 1995).<\/p>\n<p>His most notable success, however, came in 1992 in Manila, where he played an integral role in Canada&#8217;s gold medal victory at the ISF men&#8217;s world championship. During his career, Tilley also collected a silver medal (Midland 1984) and a bronze (Saskatoon 1988) at the ISF worlds.<\/p>\n<p>Tilley was dominant at times on the world stage, putting up gaudy offensive numbers against some of the game&#8217;s top pitchers.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oxfordreview.com\/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3354413\">Click here to continue reading.<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Sentinel-Review staff OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. \u2014 Fourteen years after being inducted into the Softball Canada Hall of Fame, Woodstock&#8217;s Ray Tilley has achieved international recognition.
