Hosting Orangemen win Aquafest Invitational Second Time in Tournament History

 

 

For just the second time in 41 seasons the Rice Lake Orangemen captured the championship of the tournament they have hosted all of those years, the Aquafest Men’s Fastpitch Invitational.

The Orangemen won contests over the St. Paul Sizzlers, 4-3; Fargo Knights, 12-5; Odin/Henniger’s (Minnesota) 8-2; and in the winners bracket final, 5-1, over Rivals Fastpitch of Kenosha.

Runner-up Len’s Automotive of St. Paul opened play with a 7-6 triumph over Ffats Brewery of Whitehall before being dropped to the losers bracket by Kenosha Rivals 14-8 in 12 innings.  Len’s bounced back with consecutive wins over Fargo Knights 7-6 and Pate Bonding Incorporated of West St. Paul by the same 7-6 score before gaining revenge for their earlier loss to Rivals with a 9-2 win.

The championship game between winners bracket final winner Orangemen and Len’s Automotive of the losers bracket didn’t happen, however, as inclement weather invaded the area.  The unbeaten Orangemen were declared tourney champs. Kenosa Rivals claimed third place honors with Pate Bonding finishing fourth.
