The Victoria Mavericks Baseball Association (V.M.B.A.) has been awarded a college franchise by the Canadian College Baseball Conference (C.C.B.C.). We received a phonecall from Mr. Ted Hotzak (President of the C.C.B.C.) last night who relayed and confirmed the good news to us that the membership vote was unanimous to grant the Victoria Mavericks Collegiate Baseball Academy (a division of Victoria Mavericks Baseball Association) full membership into the C.C.B.C. for the 2010 - 2011 season.

We would like to thank Mr. Ted Hotzak, Mr. Clyde Inouye (Executive Director) and all of the members of the C.C.B.C. for their time, commitment and trust and for allowing us this great opportunity to bring college baseball back to Victoria and to be a part of the C.C.B.C.

Many thanks must also go out to our Executive members, our Board of Directors and especially our Collegiate Academy Committee members who have participated and worked for the past three years to bring this dream into reality.

If anyone is interested in being a part of our new Victoria Mavericks Collegiate Baseball Academy as a student/player or as part of our volunteer staff and/or our regular staff (i.e. as an umpire, field crew worker, scorekeeper, concession worker, etc.) please feel free to get in touch with any one of our Collegiate Academy Committee members or myself.

The first half of the 2010 Mavericks season is behind us and summer is officially here! The Dodgers (12-5) have maintained their pace, winning six of their last seven and remaining in first place, two games ahead of the Padres (10-7). The Jays (9-8) have faltered a bit, losing four of their last six, but still sit in third. The Braves (7-11) reside a half-game behind the A's (6-9-1) in fifth, and the Cardinals (5-10-1) round out the standings. The top pitcher this week is once again Graham Campbell, adding two more victories to move to 7-0 on the season with an astounding 57 strikeouts in 47 and 2/3rds innings. The top hitter this week, Bobby Scott, managed to improve is average to .474 while hitting two homeruns in the process.

League play will be put on hold for the weekend as the Mavs are sending a team comprised of select players from all 6 league teams to the 16-team Kelowna Invitational Tournament. This tournament will be an excellent chance for the Mavs to check out what will be the competition at the Provincial Tournament later this summer. League play will resume on Tuesday, July 6.
