Firecracker Sports hosted the fourth annual Columbus Day Bash Tournament but added softball for the first time ever. This was poised to be the first full tournament after the intense rains of Fourth of July rendered fields unplayable and forced us to cancel the remainder of the tournament. With little to no rain in the forecast, we were incredibly excited to start action in Connecticut.

Firecracker Sports hosted the second annual Long Island Showcase Classic this past weekend, the third of four fall tournaments on the 2021 schedule. This event is the most intimate of the year with 13 teams across the two divisions (15/16u and 17/18u) playing at four venues on Long Island.

Day 1, Saturday

I started my tournament at Borella Field in Plainview, NY with the 15/16u division. The first matchup was between Beast 15u Black and the Glen Cove Reds. The Reds would total five hits but three costly errors from Beast increased the gap.

Day 1, Saturday

I started my tournament at Sullivan Park on the campus of Saint Anslem College in Manchester, NH and the first game on my schedule was in the 15/16u division between GBG Northeast 16u and Nor’Easters 16u. A great game to start my tournament as it was tied at zeros going into the sixth inning.
