Ontario Challenge Cup Wrap Up
September 21, 2015
Jordan, ON
#OCC2015 And so another ISC fastball season wraps up here in Canada East
with the conclusion of the 2015 Laverne Reichert Memorial Ontario Challenge
Cup.
We congratulate Sweaburg Crush for winning the the 2015 OCC, after
finishing runner-up in 2014 (and in several other years, too).
Sweaburg not only ran the table, going 5-0, they ruled on the scoreboard,
outscoring their opponents 26-1. Only Sebringville Sting managed to plate a
run against the Crush in the winner bracket final.
Kyle Crawford and Ty Sebastian were dominant for the Crush, giving up only
9 hits in the five games, with Crawford tossing a no-hitter, one-hitter and
three-hitter to go 3-0 as the top pitcher.
Sebastian was the unofficial MVP, leading the tournament with 4 HRs and 12
RBIs while picking up 2 wins on the mound.
The Crush win a paid berth to the 70th Annual ISC World Tournament to be
held in Moline, Illinois in August 2016.
We thank all 12 teams that joined us in Jordan for the weekend, as we
brought a major men's fastball tournament to Lions Park for the first time
in a long, long time, to the delight of many fans who came out over the
course of the weekend. We greatly appreciate their spending their time with
us, especially ISC Fan Ambassador Margaret Ryan!
George Lemaich put together a great blue crew of Ed Otterman, Trevor
Topping, Mike D'Abreu, Mike Brito, Fred Malatches, Paul Mastalerz, Adam
Hook and Rob Straetmans. Thank you for your outstanding work!
Wes Short and the entire Jordan Jays team did a FANTASTIC JOB as rookie
hosts, showcasing a great complex as well as exemplary scorekeeping skills!
Thanks for having us in Jordan - we look forward to returning in the not
too distant future. Bill Linwood, of the Jordan Lions Service Club, led the
grounds crew who kept us on schedule.
We also thank Al Doran & Jim Flanagan for helping us share our results
worldwide and a huge THANK YOU to ISC Statistician Gary Baughman for his
tireless devotion to the game, prepping a full tournament stats package
which is located at

Lastly, we offer our deepest sympathies to Kyle Smith and family on the
passing of Bob Loveys late last week. Our heartfelt condolences go out to
all of you.
Best regards,
Blair Setford & Joe Todd
