April 2nd 2014,
Kitchener Ontario, Host City of the 2014 ISC World Tournament.
Peter Hallman Memorial Fastpitch Tournament - June 20 21 22.
Summer may seem like a long way off, I drove by Peter Hallman Ball
Yard today and there is still some ice covering the
infields ....but that doesn't mean that fastball
has been forgotten here in the land of the 2014 ISCs.
Alan Taylor has been putting together a great field for the inaugaural
Peter Hallman Memorial Fastpitch Tournament set for the June 20 21
and 22nd weekend at the Ball Yard here in Kitchener.
Twelve teams will compete for the honour of being the first winner of
the Peter Hallman Memorial Tournament trophy. Al advises that he has
applications and has awarded berths to the following twelve teams...
-From Kitchener, the Hallman Twins, the Diamond Jaxx, KFL champs for
2013, the Bell Cartage Outlaws, and the Hallman Cubs.
-From the South Perth League we will see Wellington Sox, the Laverne
Reichert Trophy winner last fall in Palmerston, and the Shakespeare
Falcons.
-Two teams from Scarboro; the Force and the Batmen.
-From New York, CPI/Heflin Builders make the short drive to Peter Hallman
Ball Yard from the Empire State.
-ISC II finalists in Quad Cities, the Wiarton Nationals, will be a strong
entry from the Blue Water League
-and from nearby Woodstock, the Sweaburg Crush.
-Eastern Ontario will be represented by the Napanee Express.
