Subject: Wrap Up - Southwestern Ontario Challenge Cup - Innerkip,
Ontario
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the first day of fall appears today on the calendar on myway
home tonight, I noticed the leaves had already started to
Change color, some to a nice shade of Orange, and it was Ironic
that the two teamsin the Championship games
Of the Southwestern Ontario Challenge Cup both had Orange throughout
theiruniforms
The Championship game matched the Undefeated Host Team theInnerkip
Orioles against The Kitchener Outlaws
Last years Champions of the same tournament staged up in Hillsburgh,
Ontario
Kitchener Outlaws came the long route after losing theirsecond
game of the tournament then staged a remarkable
Comeback of 7 consecutive victories (5 on Sunday) to win theLaverne
Reichert Memorial Cup for the 2nd Consecutive
Year.
With the Victory , The Kitchener Outlaws have gained a berthin
the 2008 Tournament of Champions to be held in
Appleton, Wisconsin next August
Congratulations to the Tournament Finalist the Host Team ,The
Innerkip Orioles although they came up a game
Short for the weekend, they showed the balance of the ISC 11teams
in Ontariothat they do belong up in the
Upper echelon of the deuce program. It isextremely tough for
a host team to be focused when they had to be
On the diamond and yet still be willing to chip in at thefood
booth, the refreshment stand, and grab a rake when
Called upon as a back up Grounds crew, A great job byManager
Coach Tim Wright and the complete Orioles team
For stepping up to the plate and being our host team for2007
