Coldwater Early Bird Tournament Results
Coldwater, MI
The annual Early Bird Tournament was held this weekend at Waterworks Park in Coldwater, MI. The Coldwater Softball Association runs this tournament each year as a fundraiser for it's men's fast pitch league. There were 7 teams entered in this class A-C tournament. A 3-game guarantee format was used this year with each team playing 2 pool play games used to seed them for a single elimination bracket. The final three games of the tournament were shortened to 5 innings due to heavy rains Saturday night and a late start on Sunday morning. We would like to thank all of the teams that participated and helped to support the Coldwater Softball Association.
Here are the results from this weekend:
