The ISC is pleased to announce that the 2023 ISC World Tournament will be returning to Circle Tap, in Denmark, Wisconsin.


“This is our second trip to Denmark and Circle Tap and we’re looking forward to making our return,” said ISC Executive Director Larry Fisher. “The fans in Wisconsin are great fastpitch fans and they know the ISC teams and players will put on a great show.”


“We’re super excited to bring The Show back to Denmark,” said Darren Derricks, Circle Tap owner and head of the Denmark host committee. “The 2019 ISC World Tournament was a huge success and we’re really enthusiastic about doing it again in 2023.”


Circle Tap Bar & Grill, which hosts the annual Boys of Summer Tournament every July, is home to John Miller Field, directly adjacent to the Circle Tap patio, giving spectators and patrons alike a terrific viewing experience.


Additional games will be played at Memorial Park in Denmark.

A Love for the Game Rooted in Family From the moment Mitchell Armstrong first stepped onto the diamond at age five, softball became more than just a sport—it became a family affair. Coached by his mother throughout his youth and inspired by his Grandpa Jack, Mitchell’s early years were filled with passion, discipline, and drive. “My mom and brother have pushed me to become the player I am today,” he says. “They always encouraged me to do my best and love the game.” The Dirt Guy Known affectionately as “The Dirt Guy,” Mitchell embraces a unique pre-pitch ritual: grabbing a handful of dirt before every pitch. “It reminds me of the happiness this sport gives me,” he shares. “And it helps my hands stay dry!” Hard Lessons, Stronger Resolve In 2011, a fractured foot kept Mitchell from playing in his first provincials—a heartbreaking setback that taught him the importance of caution and preparation. That experience fueled his determination to stay mentally and physically ready for every big stage, including multiple ISC World Tournament appearances.
