It
has been a long, cold winter and area baseball players who are getting the
bug to get back on the field can have their wish come true in a couple of
weeks.
The
1st Annual Easton Connexion/Valley Kinette Club Mixed Sno-Pitch
Tournament is being held on March 3 and 4 at the Blezard Valley fields.
This two day event is expected to attract over a dozen teams of men and
women who are looking for good, wholesome, friendly competition and fresh
air. It is an excellent way to enjoy your favourite summer sport in the
dead of winter with your friends.
Entry
fee is only $150 per team. All teams are guaranteed a minimum of three
games and have a chance to win some great prizes. Refreshments will be
available.
Sno-pitch
is played with the same rules as slo-pitch. However, with the snow cover
acting as a blanket, players are allowed to dive and slide all they want.
Wear your winter boots and see how fast you can run in the snow after
hitting the orange ball. Games will go on regardless of the weather.
You
can register your team by calling Al Soucie (969-7654); Warren Kirwan
(969-8427); or Scott Bolger (969-1078).
