Twelve facilities will be used throughout the Valley, with action getting underway at 8:00am Saturday morning. The final game (championship for the u/14 division) is set to begin at 5:30 Sunday at Wenatchee Valley College's Paul Thomas Sr. Field. The teams have been invited to attend the Opening Ceremonies at The Wenatchee Red Lion Hotel Friday evening. Wenatchee Mayor Frank Kuntz will be on hand to throw out the ceremonial first pitch. We'll have the full listing of fields in next weeks Weekend Reminder. If you live in the Greater Wenatchee Area, it's a guarantee that there'll be action close to you. It's a strong caliber of youth baseball, definitely worth checking out. Of the 123 teams, 116 are from outside the area. From an economic standpoint, this one is huge. From Friday thru Sunday, it is estimated that 1/2 million dollars will be spent by visiting teams and their accompaniment. Again, more details to come next week! |
