The Heflin Gremlins from Ballston Lake NY traveled to Erie PA to compete in the Annual George Baumman Fastpitch Tournament.

The Gremlins went 4-0 in pool play with great offense from Steve Schucker, Edward Leonardo, Frank Perez and Blair Ezekiel.

On behalf of the Heflin Gremlins Ballteam, I wish to thank Dan and Susan Pritchard for thier great efforts again this year. This well orchestrated tournament in Erie is something we look forward to every season. The local hospitality and assistance is second to none, and they arranged for excellent weather. The next tourney for the Gremlins is the Legends of Fastpitch Tournament in Woodstock Ontario
