May 5 - League Notice of Rule Changes:

Based on recommendations, the Rules Committee the Executive made the following changes for the upcoming year:

1) No substitute runner from home plate,

      (Exceptions only by approval from the league executive)

2) No infield fly rule,

      (We are hoping no infielders abuse this rule)

3) No one can hit, sub or run if they have a substitute player in their place

 (If you have a substitute player in your place you can not go in to hit, run or field

4) Substitutions must follow the A, B, C player format that was used last year. 

        Record substitutions upstairs and report them to Rob Kayfish

       (Failure to follow this format will result in no longer being able to pick up an “A” player

May 3 - Website Notices:

     With the season beginning, a couple of website updates:

• The player sub list is posted at the right side of the web page, along with a team usage page. As players are used as a sub a line will be put through their name. An " X " will indicate that the player has subbed his 2 times.
• The team section at the bottom of the page now has clickable links to their respected team pages. The pages are now populated with player names and also Team coaches and Reps.

March 30 - League/Website Notes:

Couple of Website Notes as we near the beginning of the season:

• All 2025 season information can be found under the "Past Seasons" tab above and clicking on the "2025" Link. I will start to update the right side panel to 2026 information, but thought I would leave for a bit so new players can view.
• I found another memory card with photos from the Sept scramble, so there are now 4 game play photo sections to view.

June 22:

     A league History Link is now available in the above tabs to an article written by Rod Sommerfeld.

This is an outstanding article that takes the reader back to the very beginning of the league.  You can also use the link below to access the page.

The back and forth wouldn’t stop as the Red Sox scored three runs in the fifth while the Jays added one run for a tie ball game after five complete innings. Again the Jays were able to hold the Red Sox scoreless in the sixth while cashing in four runs on four hits in the bottom half of the inning. The Red Sox pushed two runs across in the top of the seventh but came up two runs short to make the final Bumper to Bumper 16 and the Red Sox 14.

     Game 3 - The third game of the night saw Juggies Tap House take on Logos. It was a close contest throughout the game with Logos winning 19 to 16. Juggies had 24 hits and Logos had 28. Winning pitcher was Dean Roy and Jim Dulle took the loss. A big thankyou to the Mavericks for operating the concession and for the umpiring. As a reminder this weekend is the annual senior men's slow pitch tournament with teams from Kelowna, Edmonton, Regina, and Calgary. The weather is going to be great. Come on out have a beer and watch some great slow pitch action.
