The Big Muddy Rivercats defeated the SI Sun Devils for the championship. Marion lost 7-2 in pool play to the Sun Devils in a game that wasn't decided until late in the innings.

Practice Wednesday April 8

Bobcats will practice Wednesday after school at the park if weather and field conditions permit.

If not, we will go to cage to hit and pitch.

It is fine if players want to ride to coach's office after school.

If we have to go indoors to cage, it would be good if players who ride bus to town workout first, then others come a bit later, about 5:30 or so. Either way, we will make it work.
