Rose Cup 2007
Monday, June 25, 2007
The Broken Bow Gremlins (NY) won the
2007 Portland DeMarini Rose Cup with outstanding pitching, solid defense and
timely hitting. Soundfamiliar? Lanky lefty Andrew
Kirkpatrick and Jeremy Manley were almost unhittable all
weekend. Jared Martin, Patrick Shannon, Nathan Nukunuku & Rhys
Casley, among others on the Bow roster, added the offensive firepower. The
Gremlins had the toughest schedule both days and outscored their
opponents 29-3. Considering they played three games against top ten
teams and one against the 13th ranked ISC squad,it was a very impressive first
outing of the year for this NewYork bunch. They certainly lived up
to their # 3 ranking and thensome. Oh yea, did I mention Doc and Koos are
class acts, too? Thanksfor putting on a great show in Portland this
weekend. It made all therain on Sunday more tolerable.
The host Portland DeMarini squad had a
pretty good weekend, too, finishing second to the Gremlins 4-0 in the
final. Mike "Peaches"Piechnik had a gritty 8 inning win in
the semi's over the Grey Sox ofVancouver, B.C.. The game could have went
either way until Todd Garciahit a sharp single to win it for Portland by a
score of 2-1. Bricklen Anderson (P) and Brian Ree (SS) had real
solid games for the DeMarini team this weekend.
Mark Whitten, Evan Potskin, Jason
Porto, Landy Rodriguez, Darren Box and the rest of the SoCal Bombers put
on good show at the tournament. The Bombers are loaded top to bottom in
their batting order and showed why they are ranked # 7 by the ISC. With
Whitten, Peeples & Tilley sharing time in the circle, they are a
dangerousteam to face. The Bombers and Grey Sox took 3rd place at the
Rose Cup.
Congrats to CR/Adidas of
Thanks to all fourteen teams for
attending this years event.
Special thanks to Jim
Flanagan of Fastpitchwest.com for posting all the scores in such a timely

The Vancouver Grey Sox went 3-2 in
for 3rd with SoCal Bombers. In both losses the games were in doubt until the
final inning. In the preliminary round Nick Underhill and Jeremy Manley of
the Broken Bow Gremlins battled to a scoreless tie through 6 but the
Gremlins scored an unearned a run in the 7th and won 1-0. Manley was
dominant, throwing a no-hitter, while Underhill gave up only two two hits.
In a 2-1 playoff loss to Portland the game was 1-1 after 7 and with the
International Tie-breaker rule in effect the Grey Sox failed to score in the
top of the 8th then Todd Garcia singled home the winning run off Rick Smith
with 1 out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 8th.
