B-BALL The under 15 boys and girls .tryouts for the basketball teams that will represent the nootena a ne B.C. Summer Games will be held locally this weekend. Stanley Humphries Secondary School will be the site for the under 15 female camp April 25 - 26. : LocalSPORTS | News file photo In a game in which pitching means everything, the Castlegar Men’s Commercial Fastball League has its share of top notch hurlers. Fastballers Ed Mills SPORTS EDITOR New doesn’t mean more but it might mean better for the Castlegar _Men’s .Commercial astball League. “This could be a great year for ball,” said the league’s new president Tim Horcoff. “There’s five fairly evenly matched ball teams this year.” The League, which opens its regular season at Kinnaird Park Monday night, lost a team this year but picked up a club with a hot shot pitcher that arrives as an instant contender. The Slocan Valley Royals, who won the Slocan Valley Fastball League last season and were in the money in several tourna- ments, replace Salmo, which was the league’s weak sister last season. In a game where pitching can mean everything, the Royals boast one of the best in the area in Kevin Sutherland. A former A ball pitcher, (the Castlegar League is C ) Sutherland’s arrival adds another dimension to a league that already has strong pitching. “He’ll make the other teams better just by facing him every hitting,” said the league’s past president Terry Taranoff.

It’s been a while, but the boys of summer fastball are back on the diamond Monday at Kinnaird Park. feeling fine have made significant off season moves. % “Tm excited about it, I think it’s going to be really close,” Taranoff said. “It’s just more exciting when you're going to have a 1-0 game or whatever, you're not going to have ‘There’s five fairly evenly matched ball teams this year.’ -Tim Horcoff ‘I’m excited about it, I think it’s going to be really close.’ -Terry Taranoff Taranoff, who played for last year’s league .champs, Banjo’s Pub, is expecting challenges from all sides this season. Taranoff said the Castlegar Merchants, legitimate contenders as an expansion team last season, should be even better with the off- season acquisition of pitcher Cam Sookro. Little is known about playoff champs Nelson Athletics and Labatts, other than both club’s blowouts, it makes a_ big difference,” he said. The Royals remain Taranoff’s biggest early concern. “It all comes down to pitching, so you almost have to give the edge to the Royals because of Sutherland. But he’s hitable too, after the first few games we should give him some trouble.” Meanwhile, Horcoff, 21, a member of the Merchants, is taking over the presidency with a few solid goals in mind. Topping his agenda is getting more fans out to the games. To that end Horcoff is planning to increase the league’s exposure through the media while trying to stress the excitement of the game to the public. Once he gets the fans out to the ball park, he already has instituted a policy aimed at keeping them there. “We've started out by trying to clean up the league, watching the language on the ball park and that, so parents can bring kids out to watch and not have to worry about that kind of thing.” The league’s best chance to attract an audience comes during tournaments and Fastball will be staging two this season. The first is the Merchants Invitational Tournament May 22- 24. The second is in June in - conjunction with the Castlegar’ Sunfest. : Banjo’s plays the Merchants in the season opener Monday at Kinnaird Park at 6:15 pm. Talk to us today.
