The tournament will feature the ISC men’s division with berths for the 2022 ISC World Tournament in Moline, IL, along with U23 and Legends 50+ Divisions.


In a first for the Canada East Qualifier, Softball Premier TV will be on hand to provide multi-camera HD streaming for three games on Saturday and another three on Sunday.


Teams are encouraged to confirm their spots in the tournaments early as there will be limited space in each division.


Hotels are available in nearby Stratford. We suggest booking early to avoid the seasonal rush.

ISC Qualifier format will be double knockout with a single championship game.


For the U23 and Legends divisions, it will be a round-robin with the top team getting a bye to the championship game and the second and third-place teams playing in a single semi-final.


Our co-umpires-in-chief are Ed Otterman and Trevor Topping. Interested officials should contact them about working the tournament.


After a two-year hiatus, we look forward to bringing ISC fastball back to Mitchell!

At just 24 years old, Gian Paolo Ferrari is poised to make a major impact on the international fastpitch stage. Wearing jersey #48 , Gian Paolo heads into the 2025 ISC season with the Sandlot Merchants after playing with the NW Braves last year—bringing a powerful arm, sharp focus, and unshakable determination to every outing. A Chance Encounter That Sparked a Career Gian Paolo’s journey into fastpitch began unexpectedly. A Guatemalan pitching coach saw him casually trying pitching motions and told him, “You’ve got some wood to work with.” That invitation to the coach’s academy set Gian Paolo on a path toward elite competition. Inspired by his dad and mentored early by respected names like Sergio Vargas and Alain Roman , Gian Paolo learned the value of persistence: “Keep working, even if things don’t go as expected.” Personal and Team Goals for 2025 For Gian Paolo, the upcoming season is all about solidifying his role as a reliable starting pitcher and helping the Sandlot Merchants break into the ISC Top 10. He’s focusing on hitting specific spots with the ball, refining his pitching precision, and growing stronger alongside his teammates. “We’re developing together, and that makes us dangerous,” he says confidently.
