Thank you to all the teams (12) and individuals (approximately 140) that expended their energy playing the game- from upstate to downstate and beyond. A special thank you to our volunteer umpires who gave their time to make sure the games were played safely: Peyton Moore, Sommer Dorman, Sam Swift Mycah Smith, Hailey Moore, Beth Conaway, Jessica Rybicki, Stacie Spicer, and Ike Eisenhour. And thanks to the volunteers who manned registration (Stephanie Brown), the score clock (Megan and Dan Smith), music mixers (Tim Moore), and photographer: Dan Smith, and all the others that donated their time for the success of this day.
