The 2021 season is closing in as all baseball and tee-ball teams got their schedules for the 2021 season. Baseball play begins April 10th, with a majors game between the Diamondbacks and Nationals kicking things off at 11:00 am on Locust South. Farms games open the season on Locust North and Ralph South at 11:30. Tee-ball games start a week later, with an April 17 game between the Mariners and White Sox starting that division at 9:00 am. Softball games are still to be announced by Sunrise Softball League.
The league has taken into account extra time between games, so our normal Saturday schedule will stretch out longer through the day. The hope is to allow for one game to completely clear the field before the next game moves in, as we make our best efforts to keep things as safe as possible for all involved. With that in mind, we ask that families do not linger at the field once your child's game is over.
A big headline for this year is our Friday Night Lights Series, getting underway a year later than planned. Originally set to debut in 2020, teams around the league will have an opportunity for a Friday night game on Locust South, with the older teams getting a later start under the lights! Special thanks to the Law Offices of Keith Garret for their sponsorship of this new program. The Friday Night Lights schedule is as follows:
