Whitesox enter prestigious Kelowna Tournament for the second time in as many years

The ever reliable work horse, Jamie Cameron, was again given the call by Parkland Whitesox Manager Doug Jones in their opening game against the Kamloops Sun Devils on Wednesday, June 30th. Despite a strong performance by Cameron, the Whitesox dropped a 2-0 decision in the opening game of the 2010 tournament before rebounding on Canada Day with a 6-3 victory over the Langley Blaze. Josh Turner recorded the victory for the Whitesox, while Aaron Huber’s hot bat provided the offense with two hits and a walk on his way to scoring two runs and adding one RBI.

The Whitesox faced the Everitt Merchants on Friday and managed to take a 4-2 lead into the 5th inning before the wheels fell off. Several key Whitesox errors and some opportunistic hitting on the part of the Merchants allowed the latter to come from behind to defeat the Whitesox by a score of 10-4. The Kelowna Tournament featured fourteen high calibre senior clubs split into three pools of four and six teams respectively. Playoffs were scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. No results were available as of the time of this release.
