End of Round One Standings

Hi everyone! Thanks again for supporting Three Cities Baseball by participating in our NCAA TOURNAMENT CONTEST fund raiser!

Be sure to follow your brackets closely -- a lot can change every day. Here's the complete FIRST ROUND scores of all brackets submitted "off-line." Below that, you will see a current (as of 10:30pm Saturday night) shot of the "on-line" entries (which includes some SECOND ROUND scores). Confusing, I know. But it's the best I can do right now.

Batty

Bats arrived today, you know, except . . . well, of the order placed, only Jeff Hess's Ash bat and 3 of the 4 "team" Ash bats are on back order. Then there's the little case of the misspelling of my name -- go figure. 

Anyway, if you ordered any in the order listed in the post below, figure $30.00 per bat. I'll take cash or a check, too.

We can put together another order right away, or we can all take a few cuts with these bats and decide if it's worth ordering from them again or if we should "shop around" again. 

Word! See you tonight!

Emails Sent

Yesterday I sent out emails regarding the sponsorship form and the fund-raising opportunity we're exploring. Please check your in boxes and let's talk about what we've got in the works!

Bat Orders Complete

Here's the details from the first team order from Akadema bats-- I did my best to satisfy the vague (or little) information everyone gave me, and I didn't want to wait any longer to place the order -- as the team bat reserves were quickly dwindling (1 lost last Monday, 2 casualties Saturday). Also, there were no color request(s) granted -- Akadema didn't offer it on this pricing structure (sorry).

If I messed up anything below and for those that didn't get to place an order request -- please be aware we can organize another one once everyone's paid up on these or else someone else is welcome to foot the (up front) bill. Until then -- the "team bats" listed will be on a "break it, replace it" terms of agreement, so no matter what, there will be bats to use.

Word!

All bats listed (other than the team ones) are $29/each (plus shipping -- still waiting on this number, but it's likely $2.25 per bat) . . . so do the math and let me know when you can pay.

See you Saturday!



Note: Brian and Charles -- I just realized I totally forgot to place an order for you guys with this group. There are the probably a couple more guys interested I forgot as well -- my suggestion is we try to organize another order Saturday. Sorry -- but again, there will be a few team bats to use.
