One of the questions I have been asked is how softball can be more participant and fan friendly. Unlike most sports that last 2-3 hours, softball tournaments, like this past one lasted over 14 hours. It’s grueling for both players and their fans and families alike. But I think that is also what makes softball such a unique sport. Most softball complexes we have visited have playgrounds for kids and PJ’s in Spring Texas had a nice little game gallery with video games and pinball. Addition little touches like the watermelon is a great idea. Any suggestions anyone has on how this question can be answered let me know.
RTS Crew won a hard fought tournament, and the 14 hours were made up for by extremely competitive games and a touch a flair here and there. I am amazed at the tolerance the umpires showed under what I thought were major pressure and high heat from the field and the sun.
Midwest Mowing placed second, in two of the longest games I’ve seen played in a while. Both still 7 innings.
For All of those who noticed the big dent in the equipment shed behind field #1 can all high five Nick Sailors for his line drive smash. The hardest hit ball in the tournament.
