Kitchener Twins Win Fastpitch Challenge
The Kitchener Hallman Twins won the 3rd Annual Fastpitch Challenge over
the long weekend by winning three straight games on Sunday to take the
top prize. Led by the pitching of Todd Martin and Don Scott, Kitchener
knocked of Ohsweeken, Heflin and Midland on Sunday in some chilly
temperatures to claim the title. Rain held off for the most part but a
stiff breeze and cool temperatures rolled in on Friday and stuck around
for the weekend that put a bit of a damper on the opening weekend of
fastball in Ontario. In the round robin portion of the tournament,
Heflin took the top seed in the Edwards Division by going 3-0 and was
followed by St Thomas, Jarvis and Ohsweeken, who all finished at 1-2.
Midland won the Ryder Division in a tie breaker with a 2-1 record
followed by Kitchener, Niagara and Oshawa. Game results are as follows:
