International Fastball Comes Back to Owen Sound



It has been 4 years since a team from outside of Canada has played in Owen Sound but August 8 and 9th will mark the return of International Fastball to Duncan McLennan Park.


A team spearheaded by Bill Simpson which includes local talent from the Owen Sound Crunch, Port Elgin Blue Devils, and past Owen Sound Selects will take on international teams from the Czech Republic and Denmark. Both teams are preparing for the ISC World Championships that are being held in Kitchener, Ontario August 11-19th.


This is not the first time that international teams have come to Owen Sound. For the past 35 years, teams have visited the city which included teams from the Bahamas, Barbados, Virgin Islands, New Zealand, Australia, and Czech Republic (2002). Several teams from the United States have entertained the local crowds too (Midland Explorers, Madison Wisconsin, and Penn Corp from Sioux City Iowa)


The Czech Republic will play the Owen Sound squad on Tuesday August 8th and the Denmark squad will come into town on Wednesday August 9th. Each night will consist of a doubleheader with games starting at 7:15 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Opening ceremonies will begin at 7:00 p.m.


Costs to get into the games will be $5.00. All proceeds will go to the Owen Sound Midget Selects Fastball Team.

Come out to experience fastball at its best!
