We are now almost 2/3rds of the way through the 2008 baseball and softball season. After a very dry start to the year, the rains have come. We try to reschedule games as much as possible. But with the various school events, the Memorial Day weekend, and the upcoming in-house baseball playoffs, we may not be able to play as many games as originally scheduled.
May is a very busy month in our League. While the season continues as scheduled (with make-ups as available), we are also looking ahead to the post season. In Bordentown, we have post-season single elimination tournaments in the boys major and minors division to determine the overall champion. In addition, we will incorporate this format into the boys junior division as well. These tournaments start the week of June 2nd.
In addition, on June 7th, we have our "All-Star Saturday" at Northern Community Park. There will be 4 games for the boys that play in the boys minors and major divisions. In addition, the girls minors will have a softball game. Also, the boys and girls junior divisions, and maybe even t-ball, will be having their skills competion that day. We hope that everyone is able to come out and support the kids that day. The exact schedule will be set shortly and posted on the website.
June 7th is also the day that we pick the winner of the Super 50/50. Tickets have been distributed to all the managers, and should be in your hands by now. Please sell these tickets as soon as possible and return them to your managers. We will put periodic updates on the website about how big the pot is. Don't forget, the person that sells the winning ticket wins $100.00. The last few years, the pot has been over $4,000.00.
After that, we host the District 12 Tournament of Champions semi-finals and finals, and then we are into Tournament season and all the excitement that that brings.
As always, if you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me or any of the board members.
Best regards. Matt Kohnke
