After weeks of waiting, Saipan’s softballers finally returned to Tan Ge Softball Field last night, but the sultans of swat will have to hurry if they hope to participate in the 4th Annual NMI Crime Stoppers Slow Pitch Softball Tournament at the end of the month.
As tournament coordinator Rodney Klinge previously announced, the underhanded extravaganza gets underway on Saturday, Jan. 28 and continues through Sunday, Jan. 29.
In anticipation of the same excitement at the Oleai Sports Complex in 2006, teams have already started gobbling up the 10 open slots to take part in the festivities. This time around, only 10 teams will be permitted to compete for the trophy and $300 prize for first place. The first 10 teams to sign up and pay in full will take part in all of the fun in the sun.
The top team will not be the only one of the bunch to walk away with awards as there will be a trophy and $200 awarded to the first runner up, a trophy and $150 for the second runner up, and trophies for the third and fourth runner ups.
The homerun derby makes its return on Sunday afternoon as some of Saipan’s sultans of swat will be returning to vie for the $50 prize for the most longballs. Like last year, there will be prizes awarded to the top three hitters.
