Playoff format (both divisions): Top 3 teams advance to playoffs, first place team receives bye to semifinals. 2nd place team from one group plays 3rd place team from the other in a best-of-three series. Semifinal is also a best-of-three, as will be the third place series. The CHAMPIONSHIP is a best-of-five.

Tiebreaker (both divisions): It is a single round robin, and there will be no ties, so H2H is the tiebreaker. In the event of multiple-nation ties, H2H will be considered first, then run differential.

Schedule: I will post later tonight or tomorrow. It will go as follows: U-21 first day, U-16 the next, then U-21, then U-16, etc. Once playoffs begin, though, both divisions play on the same day.

You may begin posting rosters now. Good luck!

He has international coaching experience as the Third Base Coach for the national team during WBC 15.
Bench Coach: Alfonso Braddo, 46 (35) – Braddo has been the bench coach for the Allied States Minor League Lake Empress Orange Hats for 5 years. He was a career ASMiL player and found his way into the coaching ranks as a way to continue his love of the game.

Third Base Coach: Brenton Holleruf, 51 (90) – Holleruf is currently the General Manager for the Gras-Foren Gray Lederhosen of the ASML. He moved into the GM’s spot for the Gray Lederhosen after scouting and coaching on the bench for 12 years with the team.

*Position: First and Last Name, Age, B/T (Uni #)
Pitchers
SP 1: Fironte Sareb, 18, R/L (77) – Sareb was the number 1 prospect for the ASML and was drafted last year by the Lower Marentian Rams. He sets a quick pace on the mound with his cut fastball and fastball pitches. Sareb appeared in WBC 15 as a reliever appearing in 7 games posting a 3.80 ERA over 14.2 innings.
SP 2: Jasmine Callista, 20, L/R (21) – Callista currently pitches for the Napole National University Griffons in the National Tarrentum Collegiate Committee and is a Senior studying Biology.

SP 3: Brice Sammo, 19, R/R (18) – Sammo was drafted 85th overall in the 2010 ASML draft by the Ventili Boars and currently plays with their minor league franchise, the Ventili Royals. Sammo has a great presence on the mound thanks to his tall 6’5” frame and his wicked knuckleball.
SP 4: Flavius Cabela, 17, L/L (31) – Cabela has been a standout student-athlete at Krozuy Military Institute in his first year. The cadet has been projected as a Second-Round ASML draft pick for 2012, if he doesn’t choose service in the military. Cabela has some stamina issues but has great success on the mound.
SP 5: Michael Donatello, 21, R/R (35) – Donatello currently finished his first season with the South Pezza Cougars of the ASML and posted a 9-11 record with a 4.67 ERA.
Long Reliever: Zarriana Sareb, 17, R/R (76) – Younger sister of Fironte Sareb, Zarriana pitches for Yui State College in the NTCC and is a Freshmen studying International Business. Sareb’s ability to come in at anytime during the game has netted her many offers from interested ASML clubs wishing to develop her fuller, and more quickly, in the minors.
Mid Reliever: Guiermo Pontro, 19, R/R (40) – Pontro has pitched in relief for the ASMiL’s Napoliroma Battalion last year and has frustrated hitters with his cut fastball.
Mid Reliever: Candi Destani, 17, L/L (16) – Destani, more widely known as a Pop Music star in Tarrentum, always had a love of baseball. Her number one hit, “Take Me Inside the Park” was written during the ASML Championship Series this year and has quickly won both wide praise and high criticism for its veiled sexual themes. When she enrolled at Apolln City University of the Arts she quickly tried out for the baseball team and got a position as a starting pitcher. ACUA was never known for their baseball team until Destani won 15 games as a starter last season. This record was more than the Highsteppers had won in the previous three years combined. She has put her summer tour on hold in order to participate in this year’s Keisler Cup.
Mid Reliever: Johanni Bregganza, 18, R/R (12) – Bregganza split time between the ASML’s Sainte-Jerro Avengers and the ASMiL Apolln Spikes last year.

Setup: Diggs Turano, 20, R/R (6) – Turano, a Senior, has been the closer for the Napole National University Griffons in the NTCC and is currently studying Engineering. Turano holds the school record for consecutive shutout innings with 50.
Closer: Samantha Azzri, 17, R/R (98) – Azzri is the daughter of Krozuy Falcons closer Francisco Azzri and she inherited all of her father’s pitching skill. She led the NTCC in Saves last year, as a Freshmen, with 20 and attends National Imperium College in Napoliroma.

*First and Last Name, Age, B/T (Uni #)
Catchers
Vincent Cappelli, 21, S/R (24) – Cappelli has started for the hapless Napole Professors (18-126 last year) of the ASML for the past two years. He has a career batting average of .289 and homered 15 times last year.
Dax Romano, 19, L/L (41) – Romano recently helped lead the Red Lightning of Lake Empress University to the NTCC title in his Sophomore year. His NTCC career batting average is .305.

Infielders
Isabella Carone, 20, R/R (65) – Carone, a redshirt Sophomore studying Chemical Engineering, plays first base for the Napole National University Griffons in the NTCC. She has a strong bat with the ability to quickly react to a lot of fielding situations. Career NTCC batting average of .278 with 30 homeruns in her two years of college baseball.
Deningan Trempani, 18, R/R (15) – Youngest brother of ASML’s Colossi Trempani, Deningan, a Sophomore studying Military Science, plays third base and is used as the DH for Yui State College. Trempani has played some games at third for the Ironworkers but is still seen as an unknown quantity out on the field. He has a career NTCC batting average of .350.

Carli Broccoli, 20, R/R (34) – Broccoli has made her two years starting at second base for the Opili College Mountaineers one long highlight reel. She was the NTCC’s 1st Team All-Tarrentian 2B for last year and has wowed the crowds at little Opili with her acrobatics and skillful throws. This comes as no surprise since Broccoli has a background in gymnastics and is also a member of the Opili College gymnastics team. Career NTCC batting average of .265 with 45 stolen bases.
Antoni Italiana II, 21, S/R (20) – The courageous Antoni Italiana II, nephew to Supreme President Cesare Italiana, spent two years in the Tarrentum Armed Forces and won his minor honorific title by saving three other recruits from a burning ammunition storage building during bootcamp when he was only 18. Italiana, a Sophomore studying Military Science, plays third and first base for National Imperium College. He is a strong batter who registered a hit in 35 consecutive games last year. Italiana has a career NTCC batting average of .315.
Tristan Valori, 19, R/R (7) – Valori has seen his stock rise at the Krozuy Military Institute in his second year of playing college ball.

*First and Last Name, Age, B/T (Uni #)
Outfielders
Jude Roberti, 18, R/R (61) – Roberti, a Freshmen studying Biology, plays left field for South Pezza University and has answered every question as to why he was the Number 1 baseball prospect a year ago.

Caldaron Sepelli, 19, R/R (28) – Sepelli has been a great long ball hitter for the Napole National University Griffons but is prone to hitting droughts at the plate. Most famously he carried a 35 game hit streak into the NTCC Championship Series last year then struck out during 10 consecutive at bats. He holds a career NTC batting average of .305 with 28 homeruns.
Maximus Berelli, 20, R/R (55) – Berelli plays center field for the Kulami Lions of the ASMiL. Berelli has a strong arm and is able to make the tough defensive play when called upon. He hit a solid .300 during his first year with the Lions.
Mario Ionian, 17, L/L (59) – Ionian is the eldest son of ASML star Norian Ionian’s first marriage. Mario is currently a Freshmen at Florentine University where he studies Military Science and Technology. His age, he turned 17 just before the start of NTCC play 6 months ago, sometimes shows on the field but he is usually able to pull through in the clutch for the Merchantmen. Career NTCC batting average of .304

Starting Lineup and Batting Order WITH DH

Code: Select all: SS – Carli Broccoli 3B – Antoni Italiana DH – Deningan Trempani RF – Caldaron Sepelli 1B – Isabella Carone C – Vincent Cappelli 2B – Tristan Valori CF – Maximus Berelli LF – Jude Roberti

Starting Lineup and Batting Order NO DH

Code: Select all: SS – Carli Broccoli RF – Caldaron Sepelli 3B – Antoni Italiana 1B – Isabella Carone C – Vincent Cappelli 2B – Tristan Valori CF – Maximus Berelli LF – Jude Roberti P – Starting Pitcher for Game (obviously)

The Batting Order changes with the subtraction of the DH, PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!!

Choose my runscorers: No, at the very least, I should post a boxscore without an RP
Choose my lineup: No, Lineups are posted
Follow my Pitching Rotation: Yes, unless I change it in RP beforehand
Godmod scoring events: Yes, within reason
RP injuries to my players: Yes, but only to the extent of saying what player was injured. Severity will be at my discretion
Godmod injuries to my players: No, what are you stupid?
Eject my players: Yes, one per game – No bench clearing brawls with mass ejections (well maybe a bench clearing brawl)
Godmod other events: No, except for weather.

Other factoids: The ASML and ASMiL do not have a DH for any team. However, the NTCC does use a DH in some conferences. While this is a useless factoid, it may be interesting to know that not all Tarrentum players grew up without the DH. All games played in Imperium Stadium will not have a DH in the lineup. If a game is decided by one or two runs either way then my starting pitcher was taken out and a reliever was put in. This means that for a 3-2 Tarrentum victory, either my Setup or Closer got the save.

Tiziana Vincenza, 15, S/R (31) – Vincenza, a high school sophomore, has been a terrific player for her high school in the state of Krozile. Her aptitude at fielding is matched only by her grace off the field, where she runs a government-sponsored not for profit organization which gives homes to stray kittens and ferrets.
Silvio Tiberano, 16, R/R (19) – Tiberano, a high school junior, is the son of controversial painter Grippa Tiberano (whose “Poo on a Shoe” exhibit at Yui State College was closed two days after opening). Tiberano shares none of his father’s laid back, pacifist attitudes however. Tiberano recently helped lead his Apolln high school reach the State Playoffs through his powerful hitting and baserunning.
Prima Sempronio, 14, L/L (29) 0 Sempronio, a high school freshmen, was selected to the National U-16 Team through the votes of a nationwide high school coaches write-in competition. Sempronio’s coach told the heart-wrenching story of how Sempronio grew up the daughter of a broken family and how her love of the game kept her out of trouble and from run-ins with the ever-present police force.

Opinion: What Are They Thinking!?

Posted by MetaNarrativesFTL

The Quodite team for this competition, nonetheless, represents just about as profound a dishonour to the memory of Stacey Keisler as would be possible without involving some form of farm animal.

Roster

For reference: Free Austin is OOCly a puppet of mine, but ICly has no connection to Quintessence of Dust - except that a few Quodite players play in the Free Austin Baseball League, which is of a vastly higher level than our domestic level. The following is a scouting report on the members of our team, as imagined for an Austinite scout. These - highly traditionalistic - reports stand in stark contrast to the metrics favoured in Quodite circles, and consist of a ratings, plus a comment.

Coaches

Yukio Mazokuchi (SUP Superculture) - Manager
Joe Corbin (Greschmeier MSC) - Pitching Coach
June Davison (New Cleethorpes Dodgers) - Hitting Coach
Cong Kung (Kynythin MSC) - Fielding Coach

Starting pitchers

#355 Sun Tien (R/R) - SUP Superculture
"Hard worker, good pitch variety, lays down a great bunt."
Stuff: Fair Movement: Good Control: Good
Pitches: Fastball (87-89), sinker, splitter, curveball, changeup

#2902 Maija "Rash" Peltosaari (R/R) - Combined Veterans
"Used to drive a tank. Still built like one."
Stuff: Fair Movement: Good Control: Fair
Pitches: Fastball (91-93), curveball, screwball, changeup

#2999 Luke "Genocide" Moran (S/L) - New Cleethorpes Dodgers
"Indubitably the hardest throwing starter in Quodite history. With a 4.45 ERA, 5-6 record, and 10 home runs in 87 IP, doesn't look like the batters cared too much for his historic significance."
Stuff: Good Movement: Good Control: Average
Pitches: Fastball (99-101), slider, changeup, circle change

Relievers

#34 Lea Bumgarner (L/L) - Germaniapolis .45s [FABL]

Stuff: Fair Movement: Poor Control: Good
Pitches: Fastball (86-88), slider

#100 Shunji Ikarashi (L/L) - New Cleethorpes Anti-Catholics
"You need the right field fence set up inside the infield dirt for a left hander to homer against this guy."
Stuff: Fair Movement: Great Control: Average
Pitches: Fastball (90-92), splitter

#2973 Wilhelm Engström (R/R) - New Cleethorpes Postmodernists
"Has a lethal fastball - at least as far his own third baseman is concerned."
Stuff: Poor Movement: Poor Control: Poor
Pitches: Fastball (97-99), sinker, splitter, curveball, changeup, circle change

#403 Wei Hsia (S/R) - SUP Superculture
"Over 2 m tall, which helps him confuse batters with his slider, and pick up stuff off the top shelf."
Stuff: Average Movement: Great Control: Average
Pitches: Fastball (92-94), slider

#9 Atso Silvan (R/R) - New Cleethorpes Burnt Sienna Sox
"Has WBC experience. will talk about it, if you buy him a drink first."

Stuff: Fair Movement: Fair Control: Poor
Pitches: Fastball (90-92), screwball, changeup

Closers

#334 Herbie "The Herbster" Black (R/R) - Kynythin MSC
"The first relief pitcher ever to win the Pitch-a-Tent Prize for Best Pitcher. His domestic dominance has not been mirrored at the international level, unlike Mazio Mizokuchi."
Stuff: Fantastic! Movement: Good Control: Great
Pitches: Fastball (97-99), slider, changeup, circle change

#15 Samuel Åkesson (R/R) - Combined Veterans
"The Quodite version of the Cabañas effect."

Lineups

As with the senior team, these will probably change game on game, and you can do whatever you like.

RP Permissions

Generally, "yes". Use the stated pitcher, but the lineup's your call.

Tactically, this team will be more aggressive on the basepaths, less aggressive on defence.

Where possible, we will use the designated hitter.

Tarrentum Falcons Sporting News

Napoliroma, Tarrentum, Tarrentum - Another beautiful day here in Napoliroma. The U-21s and the U-16s are holding a joint practice and it's a joy to see these young folks off the streets, out of the arcades, not disturbing the O-60 "Power Walkers" at the mall and not partaking in recreational drugs. Some of Napoliroma's Finest have lined the field but no major teenage disturbances are expected. The teams look set to show the international community once again that even though rookies to international competition, the Tarrentians can play ball!

The rosters are a full of surprises for the Falcons and Falconettes. The Falconettes (U-16) have an astonishing 12 girls playing for the team while the Falcons (U-21) have only 6. The high numbers in the younger ranks can best be described as a successful campaign by the ASML and youth baseball organizations in Tarrentum for promoting the gender-equality of the great sport of baseball. Some concerned parents have asked for a woman's softball organization but the news out of the Presidential Palace is that there is no need for the nation to regress to promoting new gender-specific sports. With the Falconettes seeing most of their girls in the fielding positions, it should make for the future seasons of collegiate and professional ball in Tarrentum to be really changed from what we see today.

Two standouts on the Falcons roster are both pitchers. Fironte Sareb, known now nationwide for his gritty and outstanding performance in WBC 15, looks to hopefully continue his international dominance of hitters in this edition of the Keisler Cup. His move to the starting role has not been widely criticized by myself or my fellow analysts becuase of the drop in talent (regrettably) from international professionals to the 17 year olds he might be facing. The other standout on the U-21 roster is award-winning pop star Candi Destani. Destani is still seen as an unlikely choice by many but she can pitch and looks to have a good go in the Kiesler Cup. Who knows how many more sponsorship and business opportunities will arise out of her participation? Knowing Glory Records, I'm sure that number will figure to be A LOT.

Two standouts on the Falconette roster has to be young, very young, Ilario Constante and the amazing Gemma Itala. Constante, only 13, has shown the chops since Poni League to be a good ballplayer. Only this international competition will tell if the kid has the maturity to be a great player. Itala has won thousands of fans throughout the state of Tarrentum for her amazing 29 homeruns and for her Player of the Year award from McSquiggies. Many believe that the ASML will waive the Age of 18 Rule for Itala to take part in the ASML draft in a couple of months, making her the first 17 year old to be officially recognized as "draft-eligible." However, some ASML insiders have said that [censored by Tarrentum National Press Committee].

In all, this looks to be a great tournament for the two young teams. Stayed posted to TFSN.com and to TSPNN for all news related to the Keisler Cup.

OFFICIAL NEWMANISTAN U-21 ROSTER

Head Coach: Allyson Payne (North Charlotte)- Serves as the hitting coach on the WBC teams.

Rotation:

1A) Brittany Castelli (RHP- Fairfield City)- The juniors of other teams may be a little discouraged about having to face someone who was on the WBC 15 championship team, but Castelli is just barely still eligible to play for this team as well. Her presence in the locker room should be a tremendous asset to the team.

1B) Sarah DePaula (RHP- Putnam Lake)- Sarah was the 1E starter on the U-16 team for the last Keisler Cup, and at 21 is now also just eligible for the team. As her fastball has developed much more now, her strikeout totals have been on the rise significantly, and is a player to watch within Newmanistan.

1C) Brianna Bruce (LHP- Springfield) - Brianna, 20, will be in the same spot of the rotation as she was in when she appeared a 13-year old on the U-16 roster. She relies mostly on a curveball/slider combination.

1D) Rachel Cosgrove (RHP- Tundra Falls)- A hard throwing 19-year old who is playing on an international team for the first time, Rachel has a tremendous work ethic. She knows that this tournament can make or break her chances to possibly make the WBC 16 team next year, even though there may not be openings.

1E) Tara Skirvin (LHP- South Tier)- At 18, Tara is best compared to where Sarah DePaula was before the latter began developing her fastball. Skirvin looks to be the same way, still a bit unpolished, but her arsenal of pitches is impressive.

Bullpen:

Kayla McMahon (RHP- Loudon)- Kayla, 21, is another graduate of the U-16 team from the last Keisler Cup, though she didn’t have much of a role there. Here, look for her to be one of the top long relief options out of the pen.

Samantha Hancock (LHP- Centralia)- The 19-year old international rookie is essentially going to be the left handed version of McMahon and is expected to be used in long relief.

Megan Sutherland (RHP- Southport)- Megan will be used in short relief, as the 18-year old has always struggled to be the type to pitch long stretches. But for an inning, she can be as good as anyone.

Natalie Cornett (LHP- Dover City)- SET UP RELIEVER- Natalie, 20, was the set up reliever for Kristen Collins in Dover City last year. Collins of course is the closer of the national team as well, and playing with her has significantly helped Natalie. She will probably close for the Mountaineers eventually.

Erica Barrett (RHP- Brighton)- CLOSER- Early in her career, Barrett has been lights out with the Bulls with her heat and wicked cutter and split finger fastball. She is a nightmare to hit, and the 19-year old could be in line for greater roles down the line.

Batting Order:
1) Erica Rice- CF (R/R- Southport)- The speedy 21-year old also led off for the U-16 team in the last Keisler Cup, and is definitely in the mold of Brittany Wright and Stacie Meadows.

2) Shannon Fitzpatrick- RF (R/S- Pocono City)- Shannon, 20, was on the bench for the U-16 team, and since then she has become a much greater hitter, increasing her batting average with the Capitals from .272 two years ago, to .296 last year, to .319 this year.

3) Corinne Gratton- LF (L/S- Loudon) Gratton hit second on the U-16 team, but she will be expected to have a bigger role here, and that is fine. The 21-year old has put on quite a bit of muscle, and now is a much greater home run threat.

4) Jessica Larkin- 3B (L/L- Putnam Lake)- Jessica, 18, may be a young Sarah Boland. She has all of the power, and all opposing pitchers better be aware of that, but she also has the highly self-confident attitude that Boland had as well.

5) Maureen Sharkey- C (R/R- Springfield)- The 21-year old backstop is on the fast track to eventually be the successor to Jessica Sorenson on the national team. She started on the U-16 team, and has only gotten better at the plate, both with the bat, and calling the game.

6) Katherine Pelmann- SS (L/S- Olympia)- The 18-year old will overpower no one, but what she can do is find holes in the infield and the outfield to place hits. Expect her to pick up many RBI’s while in this spot. She’s also very good with the glove.

7) Brooke McMichael- 2B (R/S- Olympia)- There wasn’t a clear leader to start at 2B for the team, but McMichael has always been a strong prospect. As a middle infield teammate of Pelmann, the 19-year old was a wise choice.

8) Lauren Hedstrom- 1B (L/L- South Charlotte)- Lauren can hit the ball a mile, but the 18-year old needs to become less prone to the strikeout before she gets a bigger role. She’ll be a dangerous #8-hitter with that potential.

9) Pitcher.

Bench:
Debbie Frisella- C (19)
Rachel Seabolt- 1B (21)
Taylor Dobler- 2B (19)
Julia Curwin- CI (17)
Stephanie Wilkins- MI (17)
Mary Beth Santoli- OF (18)
Kellie McPherson- OF (17)

by **Newmanistan** » Tue Jun 08, 2010 4:23 am

OFFICIAL NEWMANISTAN U-16 ROSTER

Coach- Tara Cuyler (Daytopia)- Starting SS for WBC 7-12 teams.

Rotation:

1A) Meghan Stewart (LHP)- Second generation player. The 14-year old is the daughter of WBC Hall of Famer Tara Stewart, and will be the one that tries to get the rest of the young team to focus on the task at hand.

1B) Kristen Dailey (RHP)- The 15-year old idolizes Stacey Keisler in every way. Including the trash talk.

1C) Emily Price (RHP)- Other then being a great pitching prospect, Emily (15) finished 3rd in the Newmanistan-wide Teenager Text-Messaging Championships. Her speed and accuracy was very impressive there, and she is like that on the mound as well.

1D) Nikki Yates (LHP) - 14-year old who sometimes will struggle with control, but the arc of her curve is very impressive for someone her age.

1E) Marissa Martell (RHP)- The 13-year old can sometimes seem disinterested (even more then most 13 year olds), and sometimes needs to be encourage to throw the next pitch as she looks in the stands for boys.

Bullpen:

Abby Kaleta (RHP)- Abby (15) is a little discouraged about being in the pen and not starting, but that’s how it will be. She will be used mainly in long relief.

Shelby Russo (LHP)- Very motivated youngster (15), who lost her parents in a car accident when she was 8-months old. Has lived with her brother and aunt all her life. Long reliever.

Margaret O’Brian (RHP)- Maggie, 14, gets confused when people blame this deity called Margaret, many times thinking they mean her. Short reliever.

Katie Schaefer (RHP- Putnam Lake)- SET UP. Katie, 16, is the sister of WBC starter Sara Schaefer, who was one of the Rockets biggest unsung heroes. Katie hopes to be just as good as her sister, and scouts feel she is heading in the right direction.

Ashley Blanchard (LHP)- CLOSER. Her teachers wanted Ashley, 14, to not be part of this team as a punishment for her poor attitude in school. Convinced that the attitude only concerned school, coach Stewart dismissed the teachers request (demand).

Batting Order:

1) Caitlin Leffler- CF (R/R)- Caitlin, 14, is yet another leadoff hitting star in Newmanistan inspired by Brittany Wright.

2) Stephanie Parker- 2B (R/R- Thumbria Bay)- The 16-year old pick was just selected 2nd overall in the EBL draft and the Sharks are excited about her ability to hit for average, but feel she can eventually become a 20-25 HR player as well (she isn’t a power threat yet)

3) Jennifer Durham- 1B (L/L)- The 14-year old looks to have great power potential, but she can also run the bases well. Probably will become a national team player at some point.

4) Michelle Reilly- LF (R/R)- With her speed, she could lead off, but with her bat there is no better place for the 15-year old prospect to hit then right here.

5) Brianna Asbury- 3B (R/S)- The only player in this lineup that can switch hit, the 14-year old is credited for her high work ethic, and will be one of the off the field leaders.

6) Kimmy DeCarlo- RF (L/L)- One of the players that will need Asbury’s leadership. The 15-year old is talented, but often seems disinterested. Once taken out of a high school game for sneaking her cell phone out on the field and answering a text message during a pitching change.

7) Courtney Hollister- SS (R/R)- Courtney, 14, is very talented with the glove, and she will let the opponents know when she’s made a great play. She also runs well and hits for average.

8) Amanda Partidge- C (L/L)- Amanda, 15, is the quiet type, and never goes out with the team. Fortunately, she at least uses that time to study opponents and pass the information on to the pitchers.

9) Pitcher

Bench:
Megan Hamblin- C (15)
Stacey Stedman- 1B (16- Centralia)

Tarrentum Falcons Sporting News

Delaclava - With the game at Delaclava over the Tarrentum U-21 team, I believe that the nation has showed, once again, that we are no joke in the field of international baseball. Facing a tough opponent the Falcons were able to thoroughly manhandle the starting pitcher and take the Orange and Blue to victory!

Key players of the game:
Antoni Italiana II (the courageous): No suprise that the courageous Antoni Italiana II played as well as he did. His 4-hit 1 homerun performance was a wake up call to the rest of the Pocono City Group to watch out for his power.
Caldaron Sepelli: Sepelli's homerun helped cement the victory for the Falcons. Even more important was Sepelli's fielding in right field.
Fironte Sareb: The young standout from the 15th World Baseball Classic once again shined. Though giving up 10 hits in 7 innings, Sareb struckout 8 and only gave up 3 runs, all earned. He also helped his own cause by getting a hit and then scoring a run early in the game.

The Falcons play West Pocono next who, thankfully for this reporter and for fans, posted a roster and lineup. Larry Chartrand, a righthander, will pitch for the West Pocono team while Jasmine Callista, star senior pitcher for the Naple National University Griffons, will start for the Falcons.

A Messy Start, But A Winning Start
Posted by MetaNarratives

The national under-21 baseball team won their first ever game today, beating West Pocono 5-4 in neighbours Newmanistan on opening day of the 2nd Keisler Cup. A by no means perfect performance was particularly marred by the antics of second baseman Noodles Ptarmigan, who appeared overexcited by the rumours surrounding his possible signing to a team in the Han Baseball League, but also saw some fireworks thanks to the fast feet of Sam "Speedy" Spade.

The scoring began early on. Noodles allowed Alex Carter to get on base with a soft groundball hit, and was charged with an error one out later when Carter broke for second. Wen Ku's throw was in time, but Noodles dropped the ball - literally - before he could apply the tag, and Carter took third on the error, and scored on a Marcus Willis infield hit. Sun Tien registered his first strikeout, and then things picked up in the field when Ben Zimmerman - who had an outstanding all round game - gunned down Willis trying for third on a Jorge Rodriguez single.

1-0 down, it was Sam's turn to lead off as Quintessence of Dust came out to face - incredibly unusually - West Pocono's all left handed throwing infield. (It should be noted this is actually less unusual in Quintessence of Dust itself, due to the shortage of good players, but it seemed to surprise the Newmanistanian fans, who nonetheless kept their grumbles to a minimum lest some lengthy excursus on the sabermetric aspects of left handed infield defence ensue.) Spade - whose speed will be her prime asset when this year's FABL Draft rolls around - showed off a little. She lined her fifth pitch for a single, stole second on Natalia's second pitch (having waited, sensibly enough, for the predictable first pitch pitchout), and then - amazingly - scored from second on a wild pitch as Matt Dobler's curveball hit the dirt and rolled all the way to the Junior Rockets' bench.

Ignoring the anguished yells of the third base coach, Spade hared round and slid head first into home, just ahead of Tony Soskis's throw to Willis. The home fans - many of whom obviously had no great love for the West Pocono team - reacted with adulation to the daring baserunning, although the entire endeavour was rendered somewhat pointless when Natalia and Wen hit singles anyway. Ben Zimmerman hit a towering flyball to the left field wall, which Armando Cabrera brilliantly plucked down, but Natalia scored easily ahead of the delayed throw. They could have added a third run when Anna Alaja hit another single - the fourth hit Dobler yielded in his first inning - but Jed Buckley threw out Wen trying for home, and Lee Lü hit into a fielders choice.

West Pocono regained the lead in the third. Buckley doubled to centre, Noodles committed his second error - this time a throw to Anna Alaja that ended up in right field, and Jorge Rodriguez slammed a drifting fastball 434 feet straight as a die over centre field. They held the 4-3 lead until the bottom of the fifth, when yet again Spade and Zimmerman showed off their promise. Sam doubled on a drive that barely cleared the infield, stole third, and came in on a looping sacrifice fly from Natalia. Then Wen Ku drew his second base on balls, and Ben clipped an 0-2 pitch over left field, this time clearing Cabrera's head - and the fence - for his first international home run, and the first in U-21 competition for Quintessence of Dust.

No more runs followed. Sun Tien threw - with, of course, no indication on the scoreboard - a perhaps slightly high 101 pitches, but was effective to the tune of seven strikeouts and no walks, giving up two earned runs on eight hits. Lea Baumgartner, Wei Hsia and Herbie Black did the rest, with Black striking out the side after giving up two hits in the ninth. Noodles atoned for his defensive transgressions with two doubles and a single while Sam slightly sullied her record with two wild strikeouts and an error (costless, as she dropped a foul ball).

At the end of the day, we are in what looks to be clearly the tougher of the two groups in this competition, and a win is a win. Given up 10 hits and three errors to the stronger teams probably won't cut it, but with flashes of speed, power, and - sometimes - decent defence, it certainly looks like these kids have some of the tools that will be needed to get through to the playoffs.

THE ROCKET REPORT

CASTELLI TOO MUCH FOR CHURCHMA

Tundra Falls- Churchma really didn’t deserve this. After all, they are doing a nice job providing great accommodations to our collegiate all-star basketball players out there in that tournament. It is a nation that aspires to get their sporting program on even terms with the rest of the world, and they seem to be going about things the right way. But tonight in Tundra Falls was not their night. Not only did they have to open up against the host nation, but they had to face Brittany Castelli, the 21-year old right-hander who started for the World Baseball Classic 15 championship winning team. And if anyone thought this tournament might be a let down for Castelli so soon after winning that title, those thoughts were quickly erased as she sat down the Churchma hitters. “I am honored to have that championship, but I was not at my best,” Castelli said, “Maybe my relief appearance in game two of the semifinal helped, but I had something to prove. No better place to do that then at the Proving Grounds.”

Castelli was unhittable. Well, not completely as Churchma did have two hits in the game, but that was it for them. Brittany otherwise was in complete control, getting the complete game shutout and notching 14 strike outs in the process, while walking just one batter. It may be a start towards proving that game one against Tocrowkia was a fluke, and that she can handle pressure packed games at this level. Some may say the opponent was only Churchma, but we think that this country will become a presence one day in sports. Castelli was great, but she wasn’t the only one who was as the offense managed to put seven runs across the board, two of them in the first inning to immediately give support to Castelli. Erica Rice led the game off with a single and stole her way to third base before being driven in on a one-out single by Corinne Gratton. Gratton later scored on an RBI double by Jessica Larkin, who had a great day today. Larkin picked herself up a couple more RBI’s in the third inning, by blasting a 2-run HR over the left field fence (with Gratton again aboard) to make it 4-0 in favor of Newmanistan. Lauren Hedstrom added an RBI single in the 4th, and a solo HR by Maureen Sharkey in the 6th made it 6-0, Rockets. Finishing off the scoring was Corinne Gratton’s RBI single, scoring Rice, who doubled and again stole third. Coach Allyson Payne was very impressed by today’s performance, “I can’t find any flaws. We were great in all areas. I know the Churchma team is inexperienced, but we would have beat anyone today.” Things will get much harder in the next game for the U-21's, as that will be against rival Cassadaigua. Incidentally, it will be the Dagans first game as their bye was today.

Rachel’s Space

Good evening, Cassadaigua! It’s me, Rachel Friedman, and I am here in Newmanistan getting ready to represent the U-21 team in Tundra Falls. As it almost a custom, whenever Cassadaigua enters a tournament that has a bye day, we have our bye day on matchday one. It’s not really a bad thing in a baseball tournament because it allows you to be behind your opponent in most games as far your pitching rotation is concerned, meaning our #1 goes when their #2 goes, and on down the line. Not that it necessarily means anything, though. Our first game is against the Rockets, who recently won the World Baseball Classic 15 Championship. Brittany Castelli celebrated that title by leading the team to a lopsided victory but things will be different as we aren’t Churchma. We are also well rested and ready to play, even though tomorrow you will be seeing our younger team play. I think they’ll be pretty good. So this is the Keisler Cup, named after Newmanistan great Stacey Keisler. I was asked about my opinion of Stacey and if I ever looked up to her as a fellow pitcher. Well, no offense to Stacey, but I looked up to Meghan Corrigan! That should just make sense though, as why would I idolize someone from Newmanistan? I do respect Stacey though, and she was pretty cool. You gotta admit some of the boasts and guarantees she made were fun and then she would always back them up. Meghan Corrigan was never like that, and neither am I. My teammate Jennifer Pothier on the other hand may be the one who make the guarantee now and then. If you get a chance, come out and watch one of our games as I think you will find that the passion of the players and the overall quality of baseball isn’t much different then the senior teams, and that even goes for our younger team. They might be young teenagers, but they are also nice and dedicated young women. They play Mantwenic tomorrow, and I will be watching it on TV since I can’t make it to Loudon. I hope most of you watch it as well.

COS   1   1   0   1   0   0   0   0   0  - 3

Cosumar - The Falconettes showed that they too can play long ball with the international community. Though facing Cosumar, the Tarrentians had high hopes about playing the Dragons. First basewoman Tizina Vincenza felt very confident before the game. "It's like, we know we're really good. And like, I just hope that, like, people in the rest of the world will figure out how good we are too." They gum-smacking 15 year old just exuded childhood innocence and bliss and really seemed that no matter the outcome, she'd have fun playing.

Fun was not what Augusto Bellarmino got in his start. Though he was only knocked around for 3 runs, the 16 year old prospect gave up 9 hits in only 5 innings. Falconette Skip Vincent Saloni said after the game that the team will go "back to basics" with their pitching staff about how to calm themselves before, during and after the game. "The game was a win but I want my kid to go longer than 5 innings for a start."

Chaperone Isabella Itala, Gemma Itala's mother, was singularly-minded. "That win was great! Did you see my girl hit though? I tell you, she's got a bright future ahead of her if she just keeps hitting homeruns like that. I will have to talk with her about keeping her eye on the ball. You can't go 2-5 all of the time and expect fame to fall into your lap." When asked if she had any experience playing baseball Isabella simply waved goodbye and left. Seems no matter where you are, parents will be more focused on how much they think they know than how much they actually do.

McSquiggie Key Players of the Game:
2B - Benedetta Grazia: Her 3 hits led the team and helped provide baserunners for her team. Her defensive play at second helped turn two crucial double plays in the middle of the game.
3B - Gemma Itala: Her homerun and double really gave the Falconettes a shot in the arm offensively.

The Falconettes host WBC familar Sarzonia in the next game. Expect a rabid fan base at Napole National University when the Little Stars come into town. For most people, the game will be seen as revenge against the National Team's exit from the recently finished World Baseball Classic.

*Game was played WITH a DH becuase Tarrentum was Home; DH for West Pocono: Brendan Haines, OF*

Newmanistan - A beautiful day welcomed Tarrentum and West Pocono to the ballpark. Though it was a grinder of a game, the Falcons came out on top with Jasmine Callista, the top-ranked pitching prospect for the ASML, as the winner, despite giving up 7 hits. Her inaccuracy (2 walks in addition to the hits) almost led to the team's downfall as the offense only managed three runs against a surprisingly stingy West Pocono defense and pitcher in Larry Chartrand. However, the team found a way to win when West Pocono coach Scott Torres made the surprising move to relieve Chartrand for Chris McDaniels in the bottom of the sixth.

"Sometimes, I would like to know what the other manager is thinking." Falcons coach Galahad Asanti said during the post-game press conference. "I mean, why would you take a kid out who was doing so well?" The answer lies in an injury that Chartrand sustained in the bottom of the fifth. West Pocono officials announced that Chartrand was Day-to-Day with stiffness in his throwing arm. This is definately something to watch as the Keisler Cup progresses.

McSquiggie Key Players
C - Vincent Capelli: Capelli's 2-run homerun in the bottom of the sixth gave the Falcons the boost they needed to overcome the West Pocono U21 team.
MR - Candi Destani: The pop singer finally showed everyone international that she has pitching chops to go along with her singing talent. Destani struck out one and only gave up one hit during her 1 2/3 innings of work. She also came in with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh and didn't give up a run.
CL - Samantha Azzri: Azzri once again showed why she is the next big thing after her father. She came in at the top of the ninth and struck out the side to earn the save.

The Falcons have their bye scheduled for the next gameday so be sure to catch their practice at 10:00am. It will also be shown on 3 hour delay on TSFN.com and TSN.com, sponsored by MegOil. MegOil. When you just can't stop driving, we're here.

Rachel’s Space

We are underway in the Keisler Cup after having our traditional matchday-one bye day, and it couldn’t have been a better start, as we knocked off Newmanistan by the score of 5-3. We were absolutely motivated to beat them after they knocked us out in the WBC 15 semifinal, and hungry to play this game. Having the additional day of rest helped us even though Newmanistan may have felt as though they had a bye day as well given what seemed to a rather relaxing win over Churchma. I spent a lot of time going over that game to prepare for their hitters, and I am pretty pleased with the way I pitched today, though with the no-decision, it’s hard to be too excited. I left with the score tied at 3 after seven innings, and thanks to the big two-run blast by Cassie Schneider in the top of the 9th, we got the victory. Stacey Schrager got the win in relief and Meghan Fleming got the save. With the Rockets out of the way, we must guard against getting too over-confident in thinking the we can sleepwalk over the rest of the group. The Babbage Islands will get better, and Mantwenic is off to a pretty good start, too. Speaking of Mantwenic, they defeated our younger team in the opening of the U-16 competition by the score of 3-2. I have a couple friends on that team and I intended to try and console them after the game, but it turned out they didn’t really need it. They seemed more interested in talking about boys they saw at the game or on the other team. Apparently, Daryl Bell and Tom Thompson are not just good young Mantwenic players, they are also hott as hell. They’re a little too young for me, but whatever works. I am glad they are feeling good and I think they will get a win over Toiletdonia tomorrow.
