 Welcome to the Capitol City "Bat Wars" 7 Game Guarantee Showdown and College Showcase!

June 11, 12 and 13, 2010

We are happy again to partner with the Bat Wars extravaganza from Florida. It is one of only 3 places they will go this summer, and we are proud to host them as we think this will make the tournament one for the girls to remember.  Please click here to go to the Bat Wars web site.  Please click here to download the Bat Wars event flyer.

Those that were with us last year, you'll remember they have for pitching machines set up pitching constantly, over 2500 balls, dozens of shaggers, many Fastpitch related giveaways, and over 200 bats for the girls to try - all at no cost! What a great experience for the girls and what a chance to try out in live action so many different bats to see what works best for them-again all at no cost.

Combine this with a guaranteed 7 games for all teams, 90 minute games, games no earlier than noon on Friday and no later than 6:00 on Sunday, pool winners advancing, and we promise a good time for all.

For those of you have been with us before you will notice it is now a seven-game minimum. We did this for several reasons. Primarily we wanted to keep bat wars at the tournament. Their involvement necessitates the maximum number of teams participating. Plus several of the teams had a schedule last year but didn't allow them to participate in the Bat Wars event. And several coaches have said that although 8 games sounds good at first, it really was too many between noon Friday and 6 PM Sunday. Also we had several teams that left early last year because " they had played enough ball that weekend". So rather than change the time frame to start earlier and/or end later, or shorten the game length, we have made it a 7 game minimum.

So we invite you to come to a fun and competitive softball event.

We are proud to host a Paramount College Showcase immediately before the Capitol City Showdown. For more information, please contact Paramount directly at 724-746-6859 or paramountscouting@comcast.net.
