The InterCounty Fastball League is hosting their league championship
tournament this weekend in Ponsonby...Ponsonby gets two thumbs up....
One for the two diamonds and one for the good food..Ponsonby is located
to the west of Wellington Road #7..north of Guelph, and south of
Elora, north of Wellington Rd 51 and south of Wellington Rd 21..look for
the green and white Ponsonby Recreation sign....
Ponsonby gets two thumbs up from the Tournament Rating Committee*....one
for the close proximity of the diamonds....close enough that you can
keep on top of two games at once, and if you have to jump off one
band-wagon and onto another, you can get to the other diamond
quickly...and on the way you pass the other "thumbs-up" ....the
concession and beer tent. You will always find good food, Burger and
Back Bacon and Cold Beer...
One game on Thursday night...Dundalk (6 - 17 - 1) vs Grand Valley, (4 -
20)
Friday night...4 games...Alma (15 - 9) vs Rockway (11- 13)....Puslinch
(14 - 10) vs Arthur (11 - 13) ....Orangeville (20 - 4) vs Winner Game
1..|(that looks like a mismatch or a big suprise), and Ponsonby (18 -
5 - 1) vs Maryhill (8 -16)
Games continue all day Saturday and Championship Sunday....

If you are heading to Owen Sound for the Canadians and are driving up
Hwy 6, Ponsonby is only a short detour to the west...you could spend
part of the weekend at the InterCounty Championships and Sunday at the
Canadians...

diploma....I'm cheering for the Blue Devils...That game will be
followed by Vancouver vs St John's

DON SCOTT
How about that....Don Scott picks up the ball and goes 6 and 0 to lead
the Travellers to the ISC Championship in Quad Cities... two of those
games against NewYork's NY/Chicago and Andrew Kirkpatrick
Don opened the ISCs with a 5 inning, 3 hit, 0 run win over Duncan
Outlaws. He faced 18 batters and had 6 Ks....Andrew Phibbs had one
inning in relief.
Next up, the Mitchell Mets, and a 14- 0 Traveller's win...and a no
hitter facing 12 hitters and recording 7 strikeouts. The Mets are a
strong team in the league, but Scott has played against them many
times in the South Perth and few teams have the hitting power of Jarvis.
One of the pre tournament favorites going in to Quad Cities was the
Minnesota Angels. Don held them to 2 hits, over the 7 innings allowing
one run, a homer by Gavin Smith in the 4th; Jarvis 4 - 1...and Scott
now 3- 0, allowing 1 run and 5 hits
Fourth game, this one against Alpaugh....and another Jarvis win....8
runs for the Travellers on 7 hits...1 run for Alpaugh on 4 hits.
Folkard had started for the Travellers, went 1 inning, and allowed 1
hit...Scott took over in the 2nd. went 4 innings for the win, allowing
3 hits and 1 run, struck out 6 facing 15 Alpaugh batters.
Game 5, Friday night..up against #2 ranked New York NY/Chicago and
Andrew Kirkpatrick, Jeff Ellsworth, Ryse Casley, Brad Ezekiel, Pat
Shannon, Steve Mullaley, Todd Schultz, Pukash, La Hoz,
etc....etc...Kirkpatrick went 6 innings.....allowed 4 hits, 3 runs, 2
earned, walked one, struck out 10 of the 22 batters he faced.
Scott went 7, allowed 3 hits, 2 earned runs, walked one, and matching
Kirkpatrick he too struck out 10 of the 24 batters he faced...
and now with 5 wins, the Travellers face NY/Chicago for the champioship
game onSaturday evening..and Scott has the ball, against Kirkpatrick again.
Jarvis gets off to a 1 run lead in the first, Nick Shailes scores from
3rd on a wild pitch. In the 4th Ryan Wolfe singles, Brandon Horn
singles, and Pat Graham running for Ryan is at 3rd...Terkelson doubles
and scores Graham and Horn, ...Kirkpatrick is replaced on the rubber by
Newton. Nick Shailes singles to score Terkelson and Ben Enoka.
Travellers up 5 - 0.
NY/Chigaco to bat in the 4th...Casley singles, Shannon safe on a
fielder's choice...but Casley out at 2nd....La Hoz triples to score
Shannon, and Wilson singles to score La Hoz....2 runs on 3 hits...Score
now Travellers 5 - NY/Chicago 2
Nothing in the 5th but in the B6,,,Casley again singles, Shannon
doubles, and with 2 out, Wilson singles for 2 RBIs...Shannon and
Santiago, running for Casley.....bringing NY/Chicago closer, 5 - 4...
In the B7...Mullaley singles, Ezekiel K'd, Pukash K'd, and Ellesworth
grounds out to 3rd...
Don Scott picks up his 6th win.. pitching 7 innings, allowing 8 hits, 4
earned runs, 0 walks, facing 28 batters and striking out 9...
