With the advent of the Portland Beavers having left Portland everyone is asking what will happen to baseball in Portland next season (2011). The Northwest Independent Baseball League has the answer.

Come see Semi-professional baseball played with local teams and players form Portland, Gresham, Salem and Vancouver. Fourteen teams play baseball from May through August at Walker and Sckavone Stadiums (see schedule at NWIBL.ORG) in Southeast Portland. Teams consist of players with High School, College, and Professional experience.

These teams are looking for local sponsorship. Your sponsorship can be a place to meet after games at a sports pub or restaurant, (food and sprits as this is an adult team). Auto Dealers, Auto Parts, Sporting Goods, Sports Academy, Coffee Roster, or your business...

The 2011 seasons looks for the league to expand with up to 5 new teams (Portland Athletics, Portland Yankees, Westmoreland Red Sox, the Stumptown Bee's, and the Eastside Brewers). NWIBL Players within the two divisions can continue their passion playing baseball at the highest level. Players follow MLB rules and use wood bats.

These teams are looking for new players with Varsity High School, College, and Professional experience. Baseball players that are wanting to continue their baseball passion and competitive sprit can sign up at NWIBL.ORG. Now's your chance to play in Portland's premier 18 and older Wood Bat Northwest Independent Baseball League. If your a solid Baseball Coach and willing to manage we need you...

Plans are already in place for the forthcoming NWBC Baseball Convention which will again be held at the Embassy Suites PDX from January 14-16, 2011.  The annual NW Baseball convention brings together coaches from all levels in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.. This year, a special invitation has gone out to our Canadian neighbors in the B.C. area as well.. The convention, as you know, although focused directly to the high school coach has annually attracted a majority of the college coaches who either attend or participate as invited clinicians.. A special Sunday session is planned for the many volunteer coaches who coach in the summer and work with younger youth.  These specific coaches, parents, etc represent various communities throughout the region.  www.nwstar.net

Community sports: Lampkin looking to score some funding
.By Paul Danzer
Columbian Staff Writer

Monday, December 21, 2009

Tradition says a column suggesting gift ideas would be appropriate this week.

Because I know readers of this column are smart and have completed their holiday shopping well before today, I will instead look ahead to several projects in the works for our community in the coming year.

Let’s start with a party.

Tom Lampkin, the retired major league catcher who coaches Union High School baseball, is working to secure scoreboards for all of the varsity baseball and softball diamonds at the high schools of Evergreen Public Schools.

To do that, he has revived a popular event of a few years back.

The 2010 Western Night with the Stars will be held on Jan. 23 at the Clark County Fairgrounds to raise funds for the Clark County Youth Sports Foundation, a not-for-profit Lampkin helped found in 2003.

The foundation staged successful Western-themed dinner and auction events in 2003 and 2004. Money raised during those events funded grants that assisted some 30 Clark County organizations involved with youth sports.

The foundation’s mission is to assist sports programs with facility and equipment improvements that make programs safer and more fun for kids.

After a less successful event in 2005, the CCYSF decided to take a break from fundraising projects.

The decision to try again started with Lampkin’s desire to use some CCYSF funds to help improve the drainage at several area high school baseball diamonds — including Union’s. When Lampkin learned that the Union project was covered by the school district’s long-range plan (and scheduled to be complete in time for the coming season) the foundation’s board of directors turned to the idea of adding scoreboards at high school diamonds.

Lampkin hopes to clear the $80,000 needed to install eight scoreboards. He said the scoreboards will benefit youth teams as well as the high school programs, noting that club teams use the high school fields.

The CCYSF has lined up a band, an emcee, and a variety of auction items. As was the case at past parties, Lampkin has invited some of his baseball pals to appear — though he’s not ready to name names.

To learn more, or to buy a $55 ticket, visit the Clark County Youth Sports Foundation at www.ccysf.org.

Portland, OR North to Seattle for the 2009 4th of July Tournament.  We enjoyed a very long but competitive weekend of baseball. We were fortunate to have some very good pitching performances, recording the only two shutouts of the tournament one of our pitchers who played at Concordia chewed up a lot of innings for us. We qualified for Sunday play as the #2 seed in our bracket going 4-1 in pool play losing only our opener to the Mariners who also went 4-1 in pool play taking the #1 seed from our bracket by virtue of their Thursday win over us.  Our semi final game on Sunday was pretty intense. We had a squad of only 9 very tired guys and had to play the #1 seed from the other bracket.  We played a near flawless game taking a 2-0 lead against a fresh and very dominant pitcher. We got 5 solid innings from the Angels Jason Daily and brought in the kid from Concordia to close the 6th and 7th. He walks the leadoff hitter, give up a single and a 3 run bomb in the bottom of the 6th. We were down to our final 3 outs after playing so hard. We found a way to scratch out 3 runs in the top of the 7th and then shut the door in the bottom half to advance to the championship game.
 
The Astros as the #2 seed upset the Mariners, which was a little disappointing to us as we really wanted a shot at a rematch with the M's. At this point we have the same 9 guys only more tired and worn out. We lead the championship game most of the way and lose the lead on a suicide squeeze in the 6th. The game stayed tied at 4, when in the bottom of the 8th we try a steal of home with our leadoff guy. He is thrown out at the plate in a bang/bang play. We finally surrender a run in the 11th and leave the bases loaded in the bottom half of the 11th, missing the title by 90 feet. We didn't leave Seattle last night until about 5:30. Needless to say we're very tired today but I think better for the experience.
