The Circle Tap fastpitch team went 4-0(8-2 overall) this weekend in the
Wisconsin Classic League held at Circle Tap. With the wins the CT team
has garnered the Wisconsin bid to the ISC World Tournament to be held in
Kitchener, ON in August. We did so with a very thin bench as we were
missing Matt Bramwell, Paul Algar, Steve Schucker, Frankie Perez, and Chad
Ferguson. Lost Tim Jorgensen after the Friday games. We were scheduled
to play a pair of games on Saturday but due to rain the schedule had to be
modified.

Bryan Hansen drew a walk, Kyle VanAbel, Knudson, and Magnusson then
followed with bases loaded walks making it 6-0. Unfortunately our
scorekeeper decided to quit marking the book for The Bar after the 3rd
inning so I don't have the details on The Bar's 4 runs.
