The Sunday rain caused some issues, but thanks to the hard work of the Waves tournament staff and the understanding of the many fans and players who participated, the 2023 Northern Classic was able to be played to completion with some interesting results.


The Ogemaw Outlaws accomplished the rare feat of repeating as tournament champions of the High School division by defeating the Velocity Heat from the Cleveland, Ohio area, 9-3.  The 231 Fusion Fastpitch 12U squad achieved the feat in 2022....and that's the list of teams to do that!  In the semifinals, Ogemaw edged the Orange Whips from Illinois, 8-5.  Overall, there was some terrific play that made the senior group a highly entertaining collection of teams to watch.


In the 14U division, the Midland Lady Explorers brought home another home plate trophy for their organization headquarters by shutting down the Saginaw Golds, 10-1, in the final.  MLE teams won TWO titles in last week's Spring Splash tournament.  Great job, ladies!


In the 12U group, Turnin' 2 Neal slipped past the Riverview Raiders, 7-2, to capture a championship.  T2 won two close games in bracket play to advance to the championship.  The Raiders' 1-0 win over the Indy Chaos in the semifinals propelled them to the title game.  Excellent job!


Finally, Cherelle Burkett's Au Sable Barracudas edged the Lake Effect Athletics, 3-1, to win another Traverse City title in the 10U division.  The skill level of both teams was remarkable--expect to see big things from both squads this summer and beyond.


A huge THANK YOU goes out to the hard-working tournament staff that worked to rescue the day for the participating teams on Sunday, and to the parents who chipped in to help....very much appreciated.  We hope the players and their families enjoyed the weekend in Traverse City!

2022 NORTHERN CLASSIC ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

 What has eight legs, is red-white-and-blue, and runs real fast?  The answer?  The Midland Lady Explorers after Lily Coyle hits a grand slam!


Yep.  That happened in the 12U consolation game won by the Lady Explorers, 7-0, against the Northern Michigan Legends.  Earlier in the day, the Legends' Lily Payton belted a walkoff home run to send her team to a one-run victory and a berth in the consolation finals against the Lady Explorers.  Yep, that happened too.


But there was a LOT of action in this year's edition of the Northern Classic.  The tournament champions?  X-Factor in 10U, 231 Fusion Fastpitch in 12U, 231 Fusion - Tiesworth in 14U, and the Ogemaw Outlaws in the High School division.  Overall, it was a great weekend of softball with lots of twists and turns...


In the 10U championship game, X-Factor rallied in the bottom of the final inning to overtake Great Lakes Performance, 5-4, and capture their first Northern Classic title.  It was a GREAT game, especially for one played at the 10U level.  Both teams are pictured above....congrats, ladies!


In the 12U division, Gabe Williams' 2321 Fusion team upended perennial contender Saginaw Golds, 5-2, in the title game.  In the first game of bracket play, the Fusion avenged an earlier loss to the Flames, winning 11-0.  They kept rolling from there...


In the 14U group, the 231 Fusion - Tiesworth squad powered to the title, giving up only one run in pool play.  In bracket play, it was the Fusion over all of Saginaw--the Golds 14U (10-4), Golds 13/14U (3-2), and the Lady RiverDawgs (5-0) to earn the title.


In the high school group, Ryan Nicholson's Ogemaw Outlaws team edged the Grand Rapids Blaze, 4-2, to earn the tournament title.  That victory avenged an earlier loss to the Blaze in pool play.  Great action!


In addition to the Lady Explorers consolation bracket win in 12U, the hometown Traverse City Waves got on a roll and finished off business with a 3-1 vistory over Krash Puck in a well played consolation bracket final.


We hope the weekend in Traverse City was enjoyable!  Thank you, players, parents and fans, for participating!

2021 Northern Classic Results

If this Northern Classic weekend of games is any indication, fans of the 2021 Traverse City Summer Softball Series teams are in for an exciting rest-of-the-summer!


There were some sensational contests in this year's Northern Classic.  The 12U division was one of the most competitive and evenly matched ever, with quality teams spread throughout the age group.  The 14U division was equally as competitive--in fact, five of the eight games in the championship bracket were decided by one run!  And wait until you hear what happened in the high school division.......!


But first, the winners...Nick McCalla's Motor City Madness team ran a gauntlet of 10U teams en route to earning that organization's first Northern Classic title.  The Madness ladies got on a roll in the playoffs, capping their undefeated run with an 11-1 victory over Krash - Latuszek on Sunday.


In the 12U group, the 231 Fusion Fastpitch squad added ANOTHER Traverse City home plate trophy to their headquarters by defeating Krash - Puck, 5-3, in the final.  The Fusion organization, founded by Steve Steimel, has won five Northern Classic titles.  Dave Puck's Krash team had an impressive run of its own, dropping only the final game.  RiverDawgs, Aftershock, Storm, Pride, Blasters, Waves, and others....the entire division was loaded with good teams.  Congratulations, all....


The 14U division was ultra-competitive this weekend.  In the end, the Mid-Michigan Bolts came out on top, defeating Sean Lile's hometown Waves-Tsunami, 7-4, in the championship game.  Tacey Gauthier's battle-hardened squad came from behind in the title game to win--great job, girls.


Now, to the high school division....what a championship game!  The Cadillac Express and the LoCo Aftershock were on a collision course all tournament long, and the finale did not disappoint.  The Aftershock was one of two teams from Ohio in the high school division (SC Stingers).  The Cadillac Express was making a tune-up visit to Traverse City to open their summer season.  The championship game featured high school all-staters on both sides, and for much of the game it appeared that the first to score a run would be the winner.  With the game tied 0-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning of the six-inning game, Cadillac pushed across a run to take the lead.  The Aftershock battled back in the top of the sixth to score the game-tying run.  Only some clutch pitching by Ashlyn Lundquist and some tight defense at critical times kept the game tied.  Then, in the bottom of the sixth, the Express loaded the bases with one out.  A laser throw from the Aftershock catcher to third base picked off the Cadillac runner, and suddenly with two out it looked like the game might go into extra innings.  But Marion sophomore Georgia Meyer launched a 1-1 pitch deep over the right-center field fence for a two-out, three-run walk-off homer that ignited a wild Express celebration at home plate.  It brought a sudden end to a terrific championship game between two squads that should do great things this summer.  Whew!  Fun!


We hope all of the participating teams and their fans enjoyed the weekend in Traverse City!

2019 Northern Classic

2019 Northern Classic Recap

It was the worst of times....it was the best of times. 


This year's Northern Classic was an exercise in yelling at Mother Nature for the torrential downpour on Friday and again on early Saturday morning, then working to get the fields ready for the rest of the tournament.  Once the games started, the action was fast and furious and resulted in champions being crowned in four divisions.


In the 10U group, 231 Fusion Fastpitch made it two Traverse City tournaments titles in a row.  Last week's Spring Splash winner, the Fusion team silenced the TC Thunder, 10-0, in the Northern Classic final.


In the 12U group, Jake Johnston's Mt. Pleasant Drillers team beat the TC Thunder, 16-1, to win the Northern Classic title.  The Drillers advanced to the finals with a win over the TC Waves, while Jason Hamilton's Thunder squad downed the West Michigan Outlaws Blue to join the medal round.


In 14U, the 231 Fusion - Tiesworth (Juli Tiesworth) squad edged Ben Lundquist's Cadillac Express, 3-2, in the championship game.


Finally, in the 16U group co-champions Elite 16U and Mid-Michigan Bolts earned crowns based on their 3-0 record and low number of runs allowed in 3 games of pool play.  The West Michigan Outlaws earned third place honors with a 3-0 record but more runs allowed, while Warrior Nation was top among a group of 2-and-1 teams and captured fourth place.


THANK YOU to all of the teams that hung in there and waited for the fields to clear and become playable.  Also, a special thank you to Phil Meeker for helping so much at SEAS, and all of the parents who chipped in to get the field at TC West ready on Saturday.


(Above, the 231 Fusion - Tiesworth team joins the Cadillac Express after the championship game to pose for the cameras.  Congratulations, Ladies!
