Northeastern’s Head Women’s Softball Coach Kristine
Campo spent her summer recruiting a solid set of players to Sterling and she’s
looking forward to a good season. So forward, in fact, that she’s willing to put
her players up against anyone who wants to bring their best “fun” game to the
field. She has put together what she hopes will become an annual tournament and
fundraiser for the program.
The
1st Annual Beat the Plainswomen co-rec slow pitch softball tournament
is scheduled for September 7 and 8th at the Sterling city fields.
Registrations are being accepted now. If you have a team that can squeeze past
the college players, members of your team will get a shirt that proclaims “We
Beat the Plainswomen!” and you’ll certainly have some bragging rights. But,
Campo doesn’t think you can do it.
Cost to enter the tournament is $225 per team and you
get a four game guarantee. There are some details you’ll want to consider. Games
will run 55 minutes with volunteer umpires, afterall, this is a fun and games
fundraiser. Each team will need to have an equal number of men and women or
must have more women than men. You can have a maximum of 15 players on your
team. Each batter up will start with a 2-1 count. Only three homes runs will be
allowed per team per game.
Money raised at this two day battle of the balls will be
used by the NJC softball program to help pay for gear and travel expenses.
Donations beyond the entry fee will be really appreciated as well. To get the
entry form, contact Campo at (970) 522-6618 or (702) 354-8582 or email
Kristine.campo@njc.edu. The deadline is this Saturday, August 31st.
