2007 ISC II
Good crowds on hand on a coolish night in Innerkip for the 6th annual ISC
II Qualifier. The top two teams out of the 19 on hand will earn automatic
berths to the 2007 ISC II Tournament of Champions in Kitchener/Cmbridge in August.
Games start at 9 am Saturday and
continue every two hours at Innerkip & Drumbo
parks and start again at 9 am on Sunday in Innerkip. The championship game is
scheduled for 3 pm with the “if” game at 5 pm.
The only upset came in the second game
as the #2 ranked Elora Wellington Brewers fell 5-4 to
the Bucktown Bees. Lee Hopkins was 3-3 for Bucktown with a single, double and three-run HR, finishing
with all five RBIs for the Bees. Elora scored 1 in
the top of the first and three in the sixth, but had the tying run thrown out
at the plate.

Saturday June 23
Perfect day for
ball here in Innerkip. High
blue skies with temperatures in the mid 20's. Good crowds
for many of the games throughout the day and the beer tent was buzzing
about the upsets. Elora Brewers dropped their second
game of the tournament and were sent home early by Hickson
Reds. Wyevale Tribe sent Elmira Cubs to the loser's bracket with a thoroughly
convincing 8-0 win as Jason Giffen tossed his second
1-hitter of the tournament while Lee Hopkins of Bucktown
continued to be the hottest batter, driving in both of Bucktown's
runs in their 2-0 win over Glencoe Astros, giving him
7 in the Bees' first two games. Bucktown's Phillip
Martin also continues to impress, allowing only four hits to Port

Sunday June 24
Another beautiful day for ball
in Innerkip. Things got underway at 8:55 am between
Alvinston & Harriston,
while the Port Elgin-Elmira game was delayed for 52 minutes due to some
overzealous diamond watering by the Innerkip fire department. Harriston and Port Elgin won the early morning loser's
bracket games while Bucktown Bees, Phillip Martin and
Lee Hopkins continued to confound and amaze, scoring three off Wyevale ace
Jason Giffen in the first inning of the winner's
bracket final game, crusing to a 4-2 win. Harriston then dismantled Port Elgin 6-2 to meet Wyevale in
the loser's bracket final. Wyevale would manage only two hits off Scott Smith,
both by Graham McNab, but he made them count,
blasting a lead off home run in the top of the first and doubling him the
game-winning run in the top of the 9th. McNab
then came on in relief of starter Jason Giffen in the
first final game after Giffen gave up five runs. McNab held down the Bees the rest of the way while the
Tribe scored six in the bottom of the second and tacked on three more in the 6th
to win 9-5. The “if” game was scoreless into the 6th,
when Mike Kelly singled. Pinch runner Chris Bell stole second. Mike Lambie reached on an infield single advancing
