Blue Lake Sports Park set to host annual event this weekend<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Annual Mount Gambier Baseball Masters is on again as it returns to Blue Lake Sports Park for the 16th time on April 21. It is a fully sanctioned Australian Baseball Federation event.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, due to the late withdrawal of a couple of teams only eight teams will be competing.<\/p>\n

Theyhave been split into two divisions with both those divisions playing off for medallions.<\/p>\n

Competing teams are Adelaide Aces, Northern Aces Blue and Grey and Playford all from Adelaide while Diamond Dogs will represent Melbourne.<\/p>\n

Local team Central will return while the Legends will field two teams due to an influx of players.<\/p>\n

Adelaide Aces, Northern Aces Blue, Diamond Dogs and Legends B make up Division 1 whilst Centrals, Legends A, Northern Aces Grey and Playford comprise Division 2<\/p>\n

Two games will be played Friday night under lights at Blue Lake Sports Park baseball diamonds with Legends A (the oldies) playing Playford at 6.15pm while Legends B (the youngies) are drawn against last year\u2019s gold medallists Northern Aces Blue.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Mount Gambier Softball League has kindly agreed for the Legends to use their Diamond 2 over the weekend which will bring all games into closer proximity to each other.<\/p>\n

Games commence at 9am on Saturday morning with two finals being played the first at 6pm followed by the second at 7.45pm. Finals continue on Sunday starting at 8.30am before the gold medal games – Division 2 at 12noon and the Division 1 at 2pm. Full catering and bar facilities are available at the baseball clubrooms all weekend.<\/p>\n
