Tournament Director Notes:

John Bacho’s Hooters team from Kalamazoo included University of Michigan stars Samantha Findlay (batting #1), Becky Marx and Tiffany Worthy along with next year’s probable starting pitcher, Larilyn Wilson from Salem, Oregon on their roster.  Findlay,Marx and Worthy  hadto leave following the games Saturday night to assist with a camp at U of M on Sunday.  Findlay (batting #2) will be participating with Team USA in Taiwan in the upcoming weeks.

Taylor Doors team from Ypsilanti had a number of Eastern Michigan University standouts including career homerun record holder Lauren Clark who will be entering her 4th season at EMU in the fall.

Team Venezuela included 14 United States collegiate players representing Venezuela from University of Indiana, Iowa, Florida and others.  Team Venezuela was in the United States touring in preparation for biggertournaments.  Later in the week they will be flying to Vancouver, British Columbia for the Canada Cup and later in the year competing in the World Tournament in China as well as the CentralAmerican Games.  Next summer they will be in the states touring in preparation for the Pan Am Games and may return to Petoskey for this invitational if schedules can be coordinated.

This tournament saw three out of the park homeruns which are the 5th, 6th and 7th in historical memory for out of the park homeruns by females on this field during tournaments with its 235 foot fences over the past 35 years.  Two Venezuela players, Ruby Rojas and Denisse Fuenmiyor, and Kelly Kirmode from Blue Dogs each hit homerunsout ofthe park in this year’s tournament.  Becky Marx was the 4th in history to do so in last year’s tournament.

Other additional highlights involved some of the younger players such as 17 year old pitcher, Krystal Ryskamp, who pitched for her Grand Rapids USA Fastball team as they competed very well losing to Venezuela 8-2, beating the Blue Dogs 5-1 and losing to two time champion of the Ingalls Invitational Taylor Doors by a score of 8-5; overall a very good showing for the combined efforts of high school age and early college age players from Grand Rapids considering the world class caliber competition at this weekend’s tournament.

Tournament Bracket & Results

The tournament was called after the first game on Sunday due to a thunderstorm that left the field unplayable.  Order of finish was determined based on games played to that point in time.

Order of Finish:
1. BC Pizza from Petoskey – 3-0 record, 13 runs allowed
2. Cheboygan Merchants from Cheboygan – 3-0 record, 19 runs allowed
3. BASES / Trophy Case from Charlevoix & Petoskey – 3-1 record
4. JNC Electric from Ellsworth – 2-2 record

Tournament Highlights: 
Jim Potter, pitcher for BASES / Trophy Case, had 3 wins and 0 losses for the weekend as he pitched 19 innings, allowed 0 runs, 5 hits, 10 strikeouts and 1 walk.  During his 3 shutouts, he had two games that were 1 hit shy of perfect games.  This follows knee replacement surgery in December and shoulder surgery two years ago!  Potter will be turning 50 years old in August and has been pitching in Charlevoix since he was a child.  He is a very likely candidate for the Michigan Amateur Softball’s Hall of Fame which would make him the second Charlevoix pitcher to earn such honors.  The other Hall of Fame pitcher is Bob Klooster who this tournament is named after.
