Saturday's Bracket and Facilities
Good evening everyone,
Brackets have been released and a couple points to note.
The Men's D division has been moved to Richard Pfitzner Stadium complex due to the possibility of impending weather. I have done this to make it easier on both parks in the case we run into delays. The Men's D will begin at 9:00am and will report to Travis Mowell beforehand. They will handle your check in. The address for Pfitzner is:
7 County Complex
Woodbridge, VA
Men's E and Men's Open will report to Valley View as normal.
Bat testing for the Men's Open will begin at 7:00am. Please be there in plenty of time to get them tested. Normal bat testing protocol will be followed. 25 bats for 20 passes. We will sticker and place barrels at each field for you to place them in before each game.
Please contact me with any questions.
Also stay tuned for any possible changes to the schedules.
