For Immediate Release
Rockford, IL. 61114
===============================

In the spirit of true development, with no ISC/NAFA/ASA developmental
money, the Rock Valley College baseball team embarked on historic
day in men's fastpitch.   As part of the squad's team building
activities, the college's head baseball coach (Ron Clark) challenged
the college's Director of Intercollegiate Athletics (Tim Hatten)
to a fastpitch softball game.   The team was split into two squads
and played a nine inning wood bat challenge, with Hatten coaching
one team and Clark coaching the other.   The game was played
with wood bats and Debeer Extreme cork centered balls.   Twenty
one year old Ryan McDuffa (RVC C Clubberz) toed the hill for
both teams, to be relieved by Ray Reynolds of Blackhawk A.C in
the 9th inning.  

Hatten's gold squad jumped on top with a base hit, delayed still
and throwing error by the catcher.   Clark's blue squad answered
back with a solo HR by Eric Nicholson, in the top of the 2nd.
 The game was nip and tuck with, the Blue squad leading 3-2 going
into the 8th.   The blue squad broke open the game with 3 runs
in the 8th to take home the victory.   Hatten's gold team had
to escort the winning team to Happy Joe's pizzeria to serve the
winning team their prize of happy joe's pizza.  The game introduced
20 new players to the great game of fastpitch softball, with
the goal of generating new players for the Rock Valley College
Club Fastpitch softball team.   The plan is to have this annual
event to conclude the fall baseball season, at RVC, to educate
college baseball players on the benefits of playing fastpitch
softball in relationship to skill building in baseball.  

Stay tuned for more announcements from the RVC Clubberz, the
only college-affiliated men's fastpitch softball team in the
United States.
