We'll seat a panel of judges to give high-fives on dives!

The T-Ball Party is moved to  the Community Building

6:00 p.m.

Monday, June 9 

Food & Trophies!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Update as of 3:00: The fields are playable, so barring any significant downpour, the Babe Ruth double header and the Major Tournament Championship will be played tonight.

The T-Ball Party is still postponed until Monday.

~~~

Due to the weather, the T-Ball Party has been moved to Monday night, June 9, and the location has been changed to the Minor League Field. (You'll see us.) 6:00 p.m. Bring your camera and your grandma (trophies!) and come hungry.

There is still a possibility, if more rain does not materialize, that fields will be playable on Major and Babe Ruth tonight. That decision will be made for sure by 3:00 p.m.

On the Read More link you will find the District, State, Regional and World Series dates and locations for this season. All-Star teams will be chosen in the last week in May.

Even though the ball park sustained some damage, the fields are dry and we are planning to have games tonight. Please plan on playing, umpiring, and working in the concession stand if you are scheduled to work.  

The Babe Ruth Schedule is posted in the Babe Ruth tab.  Note that there will be two games for each team added to be played in Gentry and Gravette later in the season.
