43rd Annual Eau Claire Classic

June 27, 2009

Eau Claire, WI

The tournament got off to a great start last night, with ASB-Villard defeating Wilber Lime with a two out single in the bottom of the 7th to plate the winning run.  Farm Tavern, always a favorite of the fans here in Eau Claire did not disappoint with their opening game as they defeated The Bar - Green Bay by a score of 9-1.
 
The crowds on Friday were FANTASTIC as was the weather.  A beautiful night in the Chippewa Valley for fastpitch softball!   Rain came in over night and lingered into the morning, but the fields were superb by the start of the first game at 10:00am.  With the rain over and clouds lifting, the crowds are starting to build again for what promises to be some great games later this evening.
 
We are experiencing some difficulties with our wireless connection at the Gelein Field Press Box.  We will continue to send game reports through as quickly as possible.  Pool Play action continues through this evening, with the elimination bracket beginning Sunday at 9:00am.
 
We look forward to bringing you all the action as fast as we can, you can also view articles on the tournament by going to the Leader Telegram web site www.leadertelegram.com
