Castlegar most improved team

Local team shows their stuff in Grand Forks tourney

Mike Hogan
Sterling News Service

The Grand Forks Preps (13
year-olds) fell two runs short of
capping a perfect baseball long
weekend with a tournament
crown, losing 15-13 to the Trail
Kiwanis in the final game

The Kiwanis beat Beaver Val
ley, Slocan Valley and Trail Xerox
to advance to the final game
through the A bracket

Grand Forks, after beating
Republic in the first round, lost a
7-6 squeaker to Trail Xerox
which sent them down to the B
bracket of the double knockout
toamament

Slugging their way through th
bottom end Grand Forks sent
Castlegar, Penticton and Trail
Xerox home before earning the right
to face Kiwanis in the final game

With Kiwanis playing its fourth

game and Grand Forks its sixth
both teams struggled with a pitch
ing shortage in late innings.

Grand Forks gave up an early
lead and went to bat in the final
inning down 15-8

With five runs scored, two outs,
the tying run on base and the win
ning run at the plate, the Kiwanis
pitcher was up to the task of field
ing a pop-up to end the Grand
Forks comeback

Another highlight of the tourna
ment was the strong performance
of Slocan Valley. Slocan came
back from a seven or eight run
deficit to beat Castlegar Pope and
Talbot in extra-innings before
being sent to the B bracket by
Trail Kiwanis

Slocan then lost a one-run
game to Penticton to be bounced
back home

While ail the other teams in th

tourney were house league teams.

Penticton, which doesn’t run a 13
year-old league, sent a team which
will closely mirrored their provin
cial tournament team.

Penticton was beaten by two
West Kootenay League house
teams —Grand Forks and Trail
Xerox— but the future of baseball
bodes well for this Okanagan
community

Their outfield was the strongest
in the tournament and their hitting
the most consistent, The superior
ty of West Kootenay pitching was
all that stood between victory and
defeat for Penticton.

Castlegar Pope and Talbot
Started out by losing in extra
innings to Slecan Valley, but the
team bounced back to upset
Beaver Valley before being sent
home by Grand Fork

Castlegar Pope and Talbot
would win the Most Improved
Team trophy for the Kootenays. if
there was such an award

Also contnbuting to the tourna
ment were Jacquie Greenhalgh
who sang the national anthems at
the opening ceremonies, and Act
ing Mayor Patrick O’ Doherty
who threw out the first pitch to get
the whole thing rolling

MLA and Minister of Agricul
ture Bill Barlee paid a surprise
visit to the tournament on his way
through town and threw a few
pitches for the crowd to get the
Penticton-Slocan game underway

Two Castlegar‘teams were
among 11 teams to take part in
the New Denver May Days
Slo-pitch tournament over the
weekend

One Castlegar team, the
Mallards Source for Sports,
came away with a third place
overall finish in the tourney

Tom Campbell, President of
the Castlegar Softball League
and a player on the Mallards
team, said his team started off
the tourney cold and
improved through each game,
but when it came down to the
game to enter into the final
they returned to their cold
spell

“We were hot and cold all
weekend, cold at first and last
We had everything but funda-
mentals in the first game and
the last,” Campbell said

The tourney included teams
from Trail, New Denver,
Field, and Castlegar. The
other Castlegar team was the
Pressure Wash Squad

Following a round-robin
format, the top two teams in
each division advanced into
the play-off round. Campbell
and his Mallard’s team
advanced with a 22-4 win over
a New Denver team to make it
into the play-offs

Once there they were on the
losing end of a 8-3 decision to
the tourney's eventual winner,
the Lordco team from Trail
