Despite the challenges posed by the weather, ‘September Madness’ continued to roll on with the completion of another four games on Sunday.
We fouled off the best spitballs that Mother Nature dished out at us during the rainy weekend and still managed to play a total of nineteen games. The Committee would like to thank everyone for their patience and help while we dealt with the rainy issues this past weekend. In the end, the wet weather certainly didn’t dampen the great and exciting baseball being played by our fantastic house league players.
With the seedings finalized after the completion of the round robin portion of the tourney, ‘September Madness’ continues with three playoff elimination games this evening at Christie Pits.
Here are the games that are on deck for Monday, September 14:
MOSQUITO DIVISION PLAYOFF ELIMINATION GAME
- 5:45 p.m. > Mariners @ Angels (Quarter-final) [Christie Pits Diamond 3]
PEEWEE DIVISION PLAYOFF ELIMINATION GAMES
- 6:00 p.m. > Pirates @ Rockies [Christie Pits Diamond 2]
- 8:00 p.m. > Giants @ Mets [Christie Pits Diamond 2]
Players, Parents and Coaches are strongly advised to check your tournament schedule carefully for the dates and times of your team’s games. It is very important that we start all games at the start time listed on the schedule…please try to be at the diamond at least 15 to 30 minutes before the start time to give the coaches a chance to get the line ups organized.
Also, it is really important, given that the sun sets earlier and diamond 3 has no lights, and that we have a second game scheduled on diamond 2 each night, that players and coaches are ready to go at the time indicated on the schedule. Games scheduled for 5:45 p.m. will have to start at 5:45 p.m. regardless of how many players are present.
Because we really want to wrap up the tournament by the end of the second full week of September, we will play in conditions of light rain that might have caused us to cancel regular season games. So don’t assume a game is cancelled because of rain. On days of questionable weather, Players and Parents are strongly advised to check the our Twitter feed, the Hotline [(416) 392-1914], or website if the weather is suspect for updates on the status of their games. Updates will be posted 45-60 minutes prior to the official game time.
The annual end of season tournament to wrap up the season is baseball lover’s delight with a cornucopia of games from four age divisions being played over four diamonds at Christie Pits and Bickford Park.
Updated scores and standings will be posted on our website after the conclusion of play each and every night. Game Reports (when available) will be posted the next day.
Additionally, people can also keep up to date with all the scores and important news via our Twitter feed @TPbaseballnews during the tournament. One can also keep up with the scores and standings at the park by viewing our information bulletin board at Christie Pits during the week.
And on the busy weekend of the tourney when 26 games are scheduled to be played, Parents and Players can keep tabs on the tournament by visiting the TP Tournament Scoreboard at the park for the latest updated scores and standings.
There are only 14 games remaining on the space rocket that is ‘September Madness’. Jump into the lunar shuttle and fly away to the voyage of a lifetime before it’s too late.
