2018 SPAMtown Challenge Updates:
Updated 6/21/18 (4:0pm) - The tournament is CANCELLED. The field conditions are terrible. We really needed rain to hold off over the night and today and it did not. There is excessive amounts of standing water all over the infield and outfield. And there’s a flood warning. Drying conditions are not favorable with rain continuing and overcast at best for the next 24 hours. We’d be lucky to have the field playable at best late Saturday night. Due to all these factors it wouldn’t be fair for teams to travel to town to play in these type of conditions so we decided to pull the plug this year.
Updated 6/21/18 (11:20am) - games 6 & 7 flip flopped putting Cobras-SLP @9am and Capitals-Sparta @1130am on Sat.
Updated 6/21/18 (2:00am) - Thursday Games are postponed due to wet field conditions. Tournament schedule adjusted to open Friday at 130pm.
