Eddie O Bunn Tournament MOVED to Peters Creek

All

I was just at Walnut Creek Softball Complex. The outfields are WET WET and the infields are wet with the heavy rain from last night that came through Raleigh. With the forecast for more rain Friday starting after lunch, we will not be able to play at Walnut Creek if we get anymore rain at all.

So with that being said and with ALOT of teams coming from out of state, we needed to make a decision early out of respect for the out of state teams coming from PA, OH, MD, WV, MI.

We will be able to play at Peters Creek regardless, so it only makes sense to move the tournament now.

The format will change to a 3GG - $275. Coaches are being contacted right now of the change. Please talk to your coach and only have the coach call Johnny Blizzard.

Peters Creek Softball Complex
12878 CS Faircloth Rd
Roseboro, NC 28382

Thank you
Andy Richards

Raleigh, Cary they are trying to get rid of men's softball at walnut creek and Thomas Brooks. "No.. money in men softball for Raleigh parks or Cary." The youth baseball and girls fast pitch bring in around 4,000 to 5000.00 dollars a tournament at the gate. No... men's softball tournament can bring that can of money to the park. Raleigh is trying to get rid of softball all together for tournaments, Cary is doing the same thing. That is why we end up at Peter Creeks, Goldsboro, and etc... it is going to get worse for any softball tournament to find a place to play soon. This applies to all men's softball organizations.

Yes sir. Here is the forecast from WRAL:

Overcast and becoming more humid again with occasional showers likely. Temperatures will bounce back into the upper 60s to low 70s despite all the clouds and rain. This will not be an all day steady rain, but rather occasional showers and possibly an isolated storm or two late in the day.

Find a complex that doesn't mind the field getting messed up a little. Geez it's funded by us taxpayers and the city of raleigh and our $300 tourney buy ins.... This gets old.
