2009 Windy City Invitational Part 2

News, notes and pics of other teams in the Windy City tournament

Showcase played ok, never gave up. Left fielder made the diving catch of the tournament against Resmondo's Dedonatis.

O&S got their money's worth and handed Combat USA a big loss. They also played well against Long Haul. O&S picked up Alex Lavorico and Kathem Martin but played without Chaun Demars.

Linedrive also beat Combat USA but lost an unexpected one against EWS.

Pipac again had a great seed and used it to finish tied for 9th. The highlite win was a 20 run inning that beat AJS.

Suncoast and Combat USA had rough weekends.

Hubs Pub couldn't pull off their normal upsets.

AJS's defense cost them two one run games.

Detroit's Own, Mobil One, and TCP all struggled to 1-2 finishes. TCP did have a nice game against Dan Smith although they lost.


Alex Lavorico returned to Conference play for O&S


Keith Martin "Kmart" was playing with Pipac. Nice pickup.


Billy Moore was back in center field for AJS

I am still looking for 3 more $50 per tournament sponsors for anyone that is interested.
