The April Metro Girls Softball meeting was held at Brennan's on Wednesday, April 2 @8:00 pm
We continued our scheduling efforts by cleaning up those few outstanding games for May's schedule.
When we adjourned the meeting on April 2, all games scheduled for May 2008 were considered final and will be published to the umpire services for assignment. Changes to May's scheduled games after the April meeting will incur a fine of $50.
Dennis Ferris presented softball rules interpretations and took questions from the audience for various scenarios.
Game balls were distributed to 14U and 16U teams and to those 10U and 12u teames having a game before the next meeting. The remainder of the teams at 10U, 12U and others will receive balls at the May 7th meeting.
PONY registration numbers were made available to all Metro Girls teams. These numbers will be needed to enter any Pony Qualifier tournaments such as Lancaster's. Any team that did not receive their Pony registration number can contact Joe Komoroske at joekmetrosoftball@verizon.net
