| VALMEYER MID-SUMMER CLASSIC | |
| Baseball spectacle is back this weekend
The crack of the bat woke up the 2009 Valmeyer Mid-Summer Classic from a year of sleep at 9 a.m. Friday at Twyla and Alois Luhr Field at Borsch Memorial Park.
Mon-Clair League teams Waterloo and Millstadt opened the tournament and pitcher Corey Blackwell (pictured) and the Millers punished Millstadt VFW in the third inning with nine runs to win 12-2.
The Fairview Heights Redbirds and Plaza Tire Capahas (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) took the field for the second semifinal just before noon. The Belleville Rockies and St. Louis Spikes meet at 2 p.m. and the St. Louis Printers and the host Lakers round out the opening day at 4:30 p.m.
The Capahas replace the Marissa Young Guns from last year's tournament, which was won by the Waterloo Millers. The Capahas, along with the Printers, are the only non-Mon-Clair teams in the Classic.
Consolation and championship semifinals begin at 9 a.m. Saturday, with games running on the same schedule as Friday. The first two games on Saturday are seven-inning contests, rather than nine. On Sunday, the consolation championship begins at 10 a.m., and the third place game is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. and the championship will be at 3:30 p.m.
Those who can't make it down to Old Town Valmeyer can visit this web site for weekend updates.
