Team USA Wins Rodney Fox Memorial Tournament

2017-05-22T06:31:00.003-07:00

STEVENS, Pa. — The 2017 USA Softball Men’s National Team (MNT) went undefeated to earn a No. 1 seed at the Rodney Fox Memorial Tournament in Stevens, Pa. Three shutout victories, including a no-hitter by BJ Hunhoff (Harrisburg, S.D.), highlighted the day for the Red, White and Blue, who will return to action tomorrow morning at 11 a.m. ET for the playoff rounds.

Game One: USA 8, PA Power 0 (five inning)

In their first contest of the 2017 season, the USA Softball MNT started the summer with a bang as the team combined for 10 hits in an 8-0 (five inning) win over PA Power. With a pair of home runs from Matt Ratliff (American Fork, Utah) and Erick Ochoa (Imperial, Calif.), the U.S. also had strong performances in the circle from first-time Team USA member Duane Weiler (Bedford, Pa.) and veteran Chris Heinlein (Columbia, Mo.).

Scoring six runs early in the bottom of the first inning and following with an additional two in the fourth inning, Ochoa finished the game with a 2-for-3 performance with three RBI, while Ratliff also went 2-for-3 with two RBI. Earning the win was Weiler, who threw four scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while fanning six batters in his debut with the Red, White and Blue. Heinlein pitched the final frame, issuing one strikeout.

Game Two: USA 16, Kelly’s 0 (three inning)

In Team USA’s second game of the day, Hunhoff was lights out in the circle as he led the U.S. to a 16-0 (three inning) win over Kelly’s. Picking up a no-hitter in the shutout win, Hunhoff fanned four batters while allowing just one walk through the three-inning contest.

Jonathan Lynch (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) was unstoppable at the plate, going a perfect 4-for-4 with three runs scored and three doubles. Ratliff continued with the hot bat, going 2-for-2 with a pair of runs scored and one RBI, while Cameron Schiller (Prescott, Ariz.) and Nick Mullins (Toms River, N.J.) picked up three RBI each.

Game Three: USA 8, Kurtz 1 (five inning)

The U.S. once again took an early lead in their third game of the day as Team USA claimed an 8-1 (five inning) win over Kurtz. With a pair of home runs from Tyler Dudley (Battle Creek, Mich.) and Ochoa, Weiler picked up his second win of the day in the circle.

Marcus Tan (Union City, Calif.) was perfect at the plate, going 2-for-2 with an RBI and one run scored, while Ochoa and Dudley each picked up two RBI. Weiler got the start, pitching three and two-third innings with one strikeout and one earned run before Hunhoff entered in relief in the fourth inning. Hunhoff pitched the final one and one-third frames, issuing four strikeouts while allowing zero hits.

Game Four: USA 6, Farmersville 0

Team USA picked up their third shutout win of the tournament in their final game of the day in a 6-0 outing over Farmersville. With the offense once again paving the way with 12 hits, Tony Mancha (Las Cruces, N.M.) earned the win after going the full seven innings in the circle.

Ochoa and Dudley had another strong outing at the plate, each sending out a home run and also picking up a double apiece. Mancha issued 21 strikeouts, allowing just three batters to reach base with two hits and a hit batter.

Semifinal: USA 13, Elanco 3 (five inning)

Jeff Nowaczyk (Midland, Mich.) had a day at the plate to help land the U.S. in the Championship Game. With a perfect 3-for-3 performance in the batter’s box, Nowaczyk sent two balls out of the park to pick up four RBI while Heinlein, Dudley, Kay and Ochoa each picked up a home run in the run-rule contest.

BJ Hunhoff (Harrisburg, S.D.) earned the win in the circle, pitching the first four innings with two strikeouts, three hits and three runs. Duane Weiler (Bedford, Pa.) entered in relief in the final frame, retiring each batter faced while picking up one strikeout.

The USA Softball MNT will meet up again at the Father’s Day Memorial Tournament in Houston, Texas from June 16-18 and the Vancouver Challenge July 1-3 in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. The final 17-player roster for the 2017 USA Softball MNT will be determined prior to the WBSC Men’s Women's World Championship, which will be held July 4-17 in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. Fans at home can follow along all summer long at USASoftball.com.

Championship Game: USA 8, Globe 0 (six inning)

Facing one of the best pitchers in the international game, Team USA proved they are a force to be reckoned with as the team slugged their way to an 8-0 (six inning) win over Globe. After taking the lead in the bottom of the second inning after Bryce Kay (Jefferson, Mo.) sent out a two-run shot, the U.S. never looked back as Mancha kept all but three Globe hitters off the bases.

It was a pitcher’s duel before Kevin Castillo (Long Beach, Calif.) picked up the first U.S. hit of the game with a double to lead off the bottom of the second inning. Back-to-back strikeouts kept Castillo at second before Kay sent the ball deep over the left field fence to make it a 2-0, U.S. ballgame.

It would stay a two-run lead for the Red, White and Blue until the bottom of the fifth inning when Chris Heinlein (Columbia, Mo.) was issued a leadoff walk. Nick Mullins (Toms River, N.J.) brought him home with an RBI double to left field before a single from Matt Ratliff (American Fork, Utah) put runners on the corners. This prompted a pitching change for Globe, as starter Sean Cleary was replaced by Jon Gwizdala. An error would allow Mullins to cross the plate, a sac fly from Erick Ochoa (Imperial, Calif.) brought home Ratliff and a sac fly from Tyler Dudley (Battle Creek, Mich.) extended the U.S. lead to 6-0. One inning later, a two-run home run from Pat Sagdal (Richland, Wash.) earned the walk-off win for the United States.

Mancha got the win in the circle, his second of the Rodney Fox Memorial Tournament. Limiting Globe to just two hits and one walk, Mancha picked up nine strikeouts through six complete innings of work.

“These guys played as a team,” said Head Coach Denny Bruckert (Gillespie, Ill.). “We swung the bats against some good pitching and our defense played really good all weekend. All in all, we did a really good job all weekend and I’m excited to see how this team develops.”

Erie

2013-04-05T06:15:00.003-07:00

Finally some good news in the world of tournaments, The Ed McCormick invitational tournament in Erie PA is BACK ON for 2013.

Tournament sponsor Ed McCormick and Erie Budweiser has decided to keep the tournament going after all. Despite the issues with teams and conflicting tournaments on the same weekend, the tournament is full go for 2013. Quite simply, Ed just didn't want to let the game die here in Erie and is willing to keep it going, even at a smaller scale for 2013. HOPEFULLY some better communication can be done for 2014 to prevent conflicts.

Jarvis Travelers, NY Gremlins, PA Power and NY Swashbucklers have all committed. One or 2 other teams are hopefully going to join the fold very soon giving us a 5-6 team field of VERY strong teams.

Jay Hart is returning as a working UIC as some ISC umpires will be once again using Erie to prepare for the ISC tournament.

I hope those who had Erie on their calendar will once again circle the date and make the trek down.

Swashbucklers win Jersey Shore Firecracker Invitational

2011-07-13T06:35:00.001-07:00

The NY Swashbucklers went 3-0 in Round Robin play, before defeating the Bedford Merchants in the Semifinals 10-0 (no-hitter by Kenton Martin) and winning a classic 6-3 in extra innings against the PA Power to take the title. In the championship game, down to their last out and last strike in the top of the 7th, John Shreiber blasted a game-tying solo homerun to knot the score at 3-all. After stranding PA Power runners at 2nd and 3rd in the bottom of the 7th, the Swashbucklers opened up the game with 3 runs in the top of the 8th, 2 coming on a two-run triple by Mike Conigliaro. Martin shut down the Power in the bottom half of the inning, sealing the tournament for the Swash.

The Swashbucklers continue their season this weekend in Boston at the Ray Macone Memorial Open Fast Pitch Invitational and have two weeks off before wrapping up their season at the NSA Men’s Fastpitch World Series in early August.

Erie, PA - July 30-31, 2011

2011-07-12T06:53:00.000-07:00

Couple more weeks until the Erie PA tournament. Just a few reminders to fastball fans coming: 8 teams with 2 pools of 4. Top 6 advance to Sunday for a 1pm final. BallParkRadio and Al Doran are scheduled to be in attendance.

Avalon Hotel is host hotel, once again. It is closest hotel to the fields and nightlife. Email:sharon.anderson@saphotels.com for Avalon info, or call 814 459 2220 x233.

Erie Airport is the closest and most convenient (USAir, Continental, and Delta all come straight into Erie). Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Cleveland are all about 1.5 hours from Erie.

Admission to games is free. Erie is a very old fashioned ballpark with no gates to charge. There are no "open container" laws at the park so, you can bring beer to the bleachers with you. If you're traveling to the ballpark and want an address for your GPS, use this one: 1137 East 11th Street, Erie PA.

Schedule will be made in a day or so. Right now these teams are committed: Jarvis, Chi/NY, Albaugh, Midland, California A's, PA Power, Ashland, and Bakersfield Silverhawks.

There will be 50-50's and local concessions for burgers and stuff.

Fastball fans from as far as Texas and Wisconsin are scheduled to appear, along with many familiar faces of the die-hard fans we all know.

Anyone with questions or need help can call, text or email me at the below info.

Results of Eastern Seaboard Inaugural Weekend.

2011-06-28T10:35:00.000-07:00

The first weekend of play in the Eastern Seaboard Fastpitch League has been completed at historic Lyons Field in Pennsylvania. Five teams went head to head in the round robin format. Leading the league standings is the Elite/Hoffman team from Pa. who finished the weekend a perfect 4-0. Coming in second was the veteran team from South Carolina, the Tornados at 3-1. Coming in third was the Keating Fitness team from Wilkes Barre Pa who lost two close games to the number 1 and 2 teams. Rounding out the pack was AA Courier from Philadelphia and the Virginia Aces from Salem, Virginia. The games were for the most part extremely competitive and played in excellent weather conditions. The folks at Lyons did a great job with the field maintenance and the concession stand was second to none. We look forward to continuing the league in a couple of weeks beginning on July 8 through July 10 when the second round of play continues.

Player Looking for a Team

2011-05-09T12:57:00.000-07:00

My name is Matt Daley and I was on the board for a Mens Fastpitch league in Penndel PA which unfortunately has been left without a field. I am trying to find out if anyone knows of any weeknight leagues in the area that would be looking for a player. I am willing to travel somewhat far as I live in Ambler, PA with easy access to 309 and the turnpike. I am going to be playing in a few tournaments but really would like to find somewhere during the week even if it is just to fill in for missing players.

I am 28 years old and have played fastpitch since I was 18. I even ran my own team in our league for about 5 years but ended up combining with my fathers team more recently.

If you come across anyone looking for a player or more please feel free to pass along my information which is below or send me their information and I will contact them.

Thanks.

Matt Daley

Mid-Atlantic Fast-pitch Travel League

The Mid-Atlantic Fast-pitch Travel League would like to welcome all fans, teams, and participants to our 2011 season. The MAFTL is proud to host the premier fast-pitch league on the east coast. The league is open to all teams interested in competing among the best teams in the sport in the North Eastern US and Eastern Canada.
The league will play host to three weekends. The weekends will be located in Willow Street, PA (May 21st, 22nd), Elkland, PA (June 18th, 19th) and in Stevens/Ephrata on (July 9th, 10th). The league is excited to welcomes some new faces to the league this year and to have a number of teams returning from last year’s league. We will be introducing a new format that is flexible to all the teams’ needs and situations by starting with the option to be able to select which weekends and how many weekends they would like to participate, enabling teams to play within their budgets. The cost will be approximately $450 dollars for each weekend played. There will a monetary payout each weekend to the top finishers and a Bid to the 2011 ISC World Championships in the Quad Cities for the 1st place team in the first two weekends.
At this time we have numerous teams committed to play two weekends and many more verbally committed to play at least one weekend. We are still looking and accepting teams to be part of our league. Any teams interested in playing in the MAFTL please contact one of the league officers. League officer info can be found at www.maftl.org
We hope the new format will help encourage teams not familiar with the travel league to experience it for one weekend and consider joining fully in the future. The very success of the league and fast-pitch in general hangs in the balance of keeping and maintaining a viable league (MAFTL) in our area. Please be part of the solution in keeping this great game of fast-pitch alive and consider entering your team in one or more of the three weekends. The Executive Officers’ of the MAFTL are committed to maintaining and promoting fastpitch within our region and to insure a brighter future for this great game of fastpitch in which we all share a deep passion for.

Thank You!
Eric Fogel
Secretary
