FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (USA) — EASYWAY & BLACKOUTS became the 1st Teams in History to ever win ISPS World Championship Rings as both Teams fought tough competition in their respective divisions this past weekend at Mills Pond Softball Complex in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
EASYWAY won the MENS SILVER DIVISION beating out HIT EM HARD 24-23 in the Championship. And BLACKOUT won the MENS BRONZE DIVISION beating DIRTY BLUE BALLS 15-4. EASYWAY was the #1 Ranked Team coming in the Tournament, while BLACKOUT was just coming back from a few bumps in the road during the regular tournament season.
It all started on Thursday (Halloween) with the 2nd arrival of an International Team coming to play an ISPS WORLD TOURNAMENT. Last year GUATEMALA participated in the ISPS WORLD CLASSIC presented by POWERADE. This year TEAM PUERTO RICO participated in the 2013 ISPS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS led by ISPS Puerto Rico National Director Abraham Aleman. The team arrived to Fort Lauderdale on Thursday afternoon and had a tour of the Mills Pond Softball Complex in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The following day on Friday, the Team met ISPS Commissioner Manuel T. Ferrero III at the American Airlines Arena across from the ISPS Headquarters. The Puerto Rican Team then had lunch on South Beach at Finnegan's Way thanks to our Softball brother Jason Diaz.
After lunch, the Puerto Rican team headed to Mills Pond Softball Complex for a Special Exhibition Game versus an All-Star Team of USA players including Chris "GATOR" Kenney (who won the HR Derby), Gabe Caride, Joseph Labriola, Jeff Wittmen, Robert Hendren & Chris Benigno to name a few. The game was presented by B45 Yellow Birch Wood Bats and featured some of their new Official ISPS/B45 Wood Bats. The Puerto Rican team had to adjust to the new rules and playing styles of ISPS America Slow Pitch Softball, but they quickly caught on. It was a quite defensive game due to the wood bats and the learning curve of the visiting team, but finally the Americans won 9-3.
"It was a fun game, and we learned a lot from these American players" said Puerto Rican Manager and ISPS Puerto Rico National Director Abraham Aleman. "We look forward to more competitions in the future.
Gabe Caride, the USA Team Manager and ISPS Florida State Director, said; "The Puerto Ricans have a lot of talent. They are a great defensive team and extremely fast! If they get a few more years under ISPS rules and learn the game more, they will be very good on the International level."
Before the Exhibition Game between Puerto Rico and USA, ISPS Hosted the 2013 ISPS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS HR DERBY. Great competition and lots of Long Balls through out the contest. After the first round there was a tie between 4 players to see who would go on to the finals. Chris "GATOR" Kenney finally made it and beat Robert Hendren in the Finals to win a COMBAT DIRTY Bat.
After the Exhibition Game between Puerto Rico and the USA, ISPS hosted a SPEED CONTEST presented by MUCHERA. MUCHERA is the Official Sliding Pants of ISPS and the contest featured the fastest players in the tournament. Participants were FLYING through the bases to see who had the fastest time from "Home-to-Home". With a time of 12.27, Einar Smart from Team Puerto Rico took home 1st Place and a MUCHERA Player Pack with a Pair of MUCHERA Sliding Pants.
After a few team pictures, comraderie & international slow pitch softball talk about styles and play in their respective countries, everyone went home for a BIG day in the morning.
“(In Spanish) I told the team they could stay out late on Halloween and Saturday night, but Friday night we implemented a curfew because of the early game-time on Saturday” said Team Puerto Rico Manager & ISPS Puerto Rico National Director Abraham Aleman.
ISPS is also getting a USA Team to travel to Puerto Rico in 2014 to go compete with the style of play in Puerto Rico. If you or someone you know is interested in taking this trip to Puerto Rico and compete email info@ispssoftball.com
On Saturday morning the games started very early in the am at 8am. Bat testing was in full affect and over 500+ bats were checked, with very minimal percentage coming back FAILED. ISPS had 5 fields running all day governed by some of the BEST in ISPS Umpires including 2013 ISPS HALL of FAME Inductee David Sweet.
Overall a great day of softball that ran very smooth with no altercations. Great sportsmanship all around by all teams. Especially those who faced our International Slow Pitch Softball brothers from Puerto Rico. Class acts all-around!
EASYWAY had a great day of hitting and finally got their ISPS World Champion Rings in SILVER. And BLACKOUT led by SCOTT "Playboy" Devlin also had a great day when it counted.
BLACKOUT Manger Scott Devlin said; "After a few minor bumps on the road, we finally are going to get our rings boys!"
This is the 1st WORLD TOURNAMENT that ISPS gives away WORLD CHAMPION RINGS to the Winning Team in each Division. Winning team players were sized and should be receiving their new ISPS World Champion Rings in a few weeks.
ISPS wants to thank all the teams, players, directors, umpires & fans for supporting ISPS all year. ISPS would also like to thank the Sponsors including; B45 YELLOW BIRCH WOOD BATS, MUCHERA, HITTING JACK-IT, MARIO'S SOLDIERS, ALEGRIAS BIKINIS, THAT WAX, POP TOSS BATTING TEES, INSIDER BAT, MY DUGOUT BUDDY, DR RAY TOLMOS FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC CENTER, GOMEZ & SON FENCE, HOTELS.COM, DIRTY SPORTSWEAR & GAMETIME TRAVEL.
