    Help spread the word....The facility has a lighted ball field, snack bar and lounge, indoor restrooms....

    College softball players struggle with a place to play during the summer.
    Is this a wood bat league like baseball?? NO.... but it better than nothing..
    Please help spread the word... especially to your college coaching staffs.
    You have 2 choices... get on the field and get some work in, or sit on the couch and bitch about the playing time you didn't get last year....

    I said it... call me if you need me to explain it to you...

    The weather is looking great for tomorrow evening! Hope everyone has spread the word to the players.

    The better the competition, the more fun and benefit it will be for the players.

    Be a part of helping this grow!

    I like what I'm seeing out here this year. Real good turnout, fun and competition. The pitching is for real. Don't think this is batting practice pitching.

    At the same time, don't think the batters are going down easy, either. There are some power hitters showing how it's done.

    Schools from community college to major D1's are coming. At least one multi-record holder from a major D1 has been to both events.

    If you can't be there exactly at the start, don't let that stop you. If you have to leave early for another commitment don't let that stop you, either.

    And ... you don't have to worry about coaches ... there are none! Unless, of course, you approach one off the field. There are a few who would love to give their input. Or maybe they're looking for input?

    Of course, you'll still have to deal with umpires. Don't see any better than they do at sanctioned games. jk!

    Bring a friend. Bring your parents. Bring your sisters. Lots of space, including a very nice volleyball court.

    See you Thursday! Let everyone know where you're going!

    Has anyone noticed that since they moved the pitching rubber to 43' in fastpitch that even MLB teams are scoring more runs?
