July 16, 2010

Oshawa, ON


Oshawa Ontario

Oshawa City and District All Star Game

The Oshawa City and District Fastball League's annualAll-Star game is in the books. Pitching great Peter Landers offered the ceremonial first pitch and the North side led by the clutch hitting of John 'Zigs' Zeiger,who was feeling less than stellar and the shutout pitching of Kyle Linton, Todd 'fanned a bunch' Martin and Andy 'Skeletor' Skelton iced
a 3-0 victory before a large gathering of fans. Of course, 'Zigs'was named North side MVP.

The South All-Stars led by Manager Mal Swift and his sons Ryan, Matt and J.C. could not contain the powerful
North squad even though South All-Star MVP Ryan Swift pitched a 4 inning gem to keep the North at bay.

The South side also featured the brothers Leahy as Abe and Matt turned in fine performances on the mound as you might expect.

During the game, Oshawa's Steve Mitts was recognized as being named to the West Quinte wall of fame as an athlete, for his accomplishments in fastball and hockey. Congrats Steve.

Steve is also the head coach of the Oshawa Double B Midget team headed for the Canadians.

As is the custom in the OCDFL the all-star game was preceded by a house league game, an exciting 11-10 win for the south side this time. The mixed teams chosen by the league coaches enjoyed a great atmosphere with music and p.a. announcer and chalk lines, all the stuff some of us take for granted.

As well, a home run derby was held as the youngsters enjoyed chasing the balls and admiring the moon shots that are generally part of such an event. Andy Skelton, surprise, surprise was the winner of this event.

Thanks to all the volunteers who worked to make it a showcase night. Special thanks to scorekeeper Andrea Henry, Announcer Jarrod Boivon, and to the Shamrocks bantam girls team for the excellent work at the BBQ. Also thanks to Samantha Ryan whose 400 odd pictures will chronicle the event.

Game statistics will be posted on the league web site www.ocdfl.ca<http://www.ocdfl.ca/.
