Sunday, June 15 Tournament Update Update: Congratulations to Local Heroes who won the rescheduled "A" final on July 2nd, defeating Murray Refrigeration 5-3 in a close game that saw Murray's grab the lead in the first and keep it until the 4th inning when the Local Heroes bats came to life. Congratulations to Medaglia Auto Imports who won the "B" final, defeating Amsted 8-3 in a storm-shortened game. The "A" final between Murray Refrigeration and Local Heroes completed two scoreless innings when the rain hit again, forcing play to be halted. The "A" final will start from scratch at a later date. Congrats to Ryan Bond (Murray Refrigeration) who won Saturday's home run derby on a day where it was not easy to hit one out of the park due to the high winds. Ryan defeated Mark Saunders and Darren Ladouceur in a sudden death overtime final round, hitting two home runs on two swings to claim the crown. Wednesday, June 18 Blackburn Men's Fastball League Tournament July 17-20 The Blackburn Mens fastball League is holding a fastball tournament from July 17 – 20. It is a 3 game minimum, with the playoffs, being held on Sunday. The entry fee is $275. Prize money will be as follows:
1st Place of A division -> $600 There will also be additional prizes as well throughout the tournament. This is a fun, friendly competitive tournament that we have been holding for as long as I have been a member which is 12+ years. There is also a Ladies fastball tournament taking place simultaneously. We have a beer tent/gardens serving food and beverage, located beside the main arena diamond which is great for relaxing and watching the games. We ask for a $150 deposit to ensure your space. If interested in joining or have any questions, comments or concerns, please contact me at your convenience.
Regards, Tuesday, April 22 Players Wanted! We're still a few guys shy of having an even number of 12-man teams, so anyone who is interested in playing some fastball this summer is encouraged to sign up. If you get your name in before our player draft (April 6th) you're almost certain to get a roster spot. Email president (at) gcmfl.com with any questions or simply fill out the registration form in our Handouts section and send it in electronically. Update: our draft is over and we now have 8 teams with full rosters. Feel free to sign up - there are always a few guys that have to drop out early in the season due to work/school/injury, and we fill those spots from the names on our waiting list. Wednesday, March 12 2008 Registration - One More Chance The poor weather last Sunday prevented a lot of guys from getting to the final registration session, so we'll hold one more registration session in the hope that we can muster up enough players to have an 8-team league. The session will be held on Tuesday March 18th from 7-9PM at Local Heroes Kanata. The Leafs play the Islanders in Long Island that night and the Habs are at home to St. Louis, so swing by, sign up, and cheer against the Sens' conference rivals. It's also 30¢/wing night @ Locals, so if the 8 hockey games on the go that night aren't enough to pique your interest, come for the registration and stay for the wings. Local Heroes Kanata is located at 4049 Carling Avenue just east of the Carling Ave / March Rd. intersection.Players who register on the 18th will be eligible to be protected by their 2008 teams. If you can't make it to this session, please send in a completed form electronically or have a teammate drop a completed form off on your behalf. The registration form is available in the Handouts section of the league web site.

BBQ As they did last year, the I4C Victory team from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League will be running a BBQ behind diamond #1 to raise money for their team. It was very well received last year and everyone seemed to enjoy having good food available at the diamond. Volunteers If you have high-school children that would like to do some volunteer work toward their required 40-hour total, please have them contact Al Read (aread@lwlaw.com) as he will be coordinating things that weekend. We�re looking for a few kids to help rake the infield between games, pick up garbage, and run errands as needed. The work will not be physically difficult and we will sign their volunteer form for as many hours as they are at the diamond and helping out, so it will be a great way to get them closer to fulfilling their volunteer requirements.

Fitzroy Harbour Competitive Tournament Results The "Glen Cairn I4C Selects" had a disappointing weekend going 0-2 before having to pull out of the tournament. Friday's game saw a 6-3 loss to the eventual tournament winner, West Carleton Electric. After being down 6-0 going into the fifth, a solo home run by Pat O'Connor brought the team into the game. Then in the sixth inning the boys loaded the bases with none out but were only able to cash two more runs before the WC defense made some very impressive plays to hold the score @ 6-3. After a slow start by pitcher Todd Wilson, he settled in and retired several innings in order to keep the game close. The game saw some great defensive work from the I4C side as well, including a perfect strike-out-throw out double play by catcher Adam McNamara to 2B Troy Drew. Also of note was a diving stop by Pat O'Connor at short to make a perfect throw from his knees to Steve McLaughlin at first. Saturday saw a game against the young team from Quyon. Down 1-0 going into the 4th, Trever Hill hit a solo home-run to tie the game. After a 2 run shot by Dan Rollin, the boys took a 4-1 lead into the 7th. The Quyon team then scored three runs to tie the game and send it into extra innings. In the bottom of the eighth, a perfect sac bunt and a blooper to right field scored the winning run. Neil Cooke pitched a great game only allowing one run through 6 innings. Even though the results weren't what we wanted, the team did turn some heads and have been invited back. Congrats to all who participated for putting forth a fine effort.
