Mayfield Tournament Update: New Times start at 1:30pm

LET'S ARRIVE AT FIELD BY 12:15pm
That will give us plenty of time to get photographs then warm up.
To answer some of your questions about whether these pictures will be available to purchase, I hope to take a more "official" team picture later when Ian will be in the picture. 

Due to field conditions, our first game at Mayfield on Saturday starts at 1:30 pm.

The second game will be at 5pm.

The home run derby is at 6pm.

Please note, there will be home run derby at 5:30pm on Field 7 for all age divisions.

The ballparks are located not far off the Purchase Parkway. The park is off 17th Street, right beside of Mayfield High School's football stadium. Below is a map and a link to a Google map.

Rent One Park Tournament is Full

The tournament next month at Rent One Park is full. There are nine teams.

We will need to submit team photo for the program and individual mug shots for the jumbotron.

We will take the team picture and individuals before the first game at Mayfield next weekend.

Here are teams playing at the Marion, Ill., Rent One Park Tournament:

Big Muddy Rivercats

King City Knights

Snowballs or Baseballs: Owensboro action in jeopardy

It looks like the March 14-15 tournament at Owensboro probably will not be played due to the recent snowfall and the affects it will have on the fields even late next week. I received an email from BPA directors today. They say a decision about that tournament will be made on Monday.

Therefore, we do not have a tournament currently scheduled until the last weekend of the month. Considering we need to get most of our play in before Rec League starts, we might want to consider playing at Jackson, Tenn., on March 20-22. So far, 14 teams are registered for that USSSA Tournament, including the Outlaws, Storm and Predators – all western Kentucky teams.

If not, we will spend the next three weeks trying to get some practice time in. Fortunately, this bunch is very baseball savvy. My only concern is that our arms haven't been loosened up since DuQuoin.

Let me know if any of you have a big problem with Jackson on March 20-22. Otherwise, I would like to keep that option open.

UPDATED SPRING SCHEDULE

NOTE: The only change is April 17-19. We will play at Marion, Ill., at RENT ONE PARK, a minor league ballpark.

For this tournament, we will run 80 foot bases, 10 ft longer than normal.

Our players' pictures will be posted on the Jumbotron and there are many other amenities for this tournament.

Marion, Ill., is about 1:30 minutes across the ferry, about the same distance as the tournament we were scheduled to play in that weekend at HIckman.
