The first tournament in the 65+ age division is in the books. . . the Joseph team participated in the ISF World Tournament in Salem, VA in June. We played well against "major" teams in both 65 and 60 age brackets. However, the tournament director pitted the "65 major" teams against a tough "major+" team, the Florida Legends. The "Legends" prevailed as they ran the table in the eliminations on Day 2 of the tournament. The Joseph team finished 2nd to the FL Legends.
All tournament players were Frank Krawczyk, Bob Bosse, Roy Hern, and Dave Gratwohl. Gratwohl is one of three new players on the retooled Joseph "65" roster. Several other younger players were left behind in the "60's" age bracket this year.
Next tournament for the Joseph 65's is the ISSA World Tournament, Manassas, VA in August. That tournament is followed by the SPA Nationals in GA in September, then ISSA Winternationals in VA Beach in October.
Joseph manager, Roy Hern, will be inducted into the National Sr. Softball Hall of Fame at the SPA Nationals in September.
More news later as the 2010 season unfolds.
