We need a total of three teams (one 18-U/two 16-U) to fill out the 2008 Best of the Midwest tournament in Peoria.

This event will be hosted by the Central Illinois Outlaws at Illinois Central College and various high-school fields throughout the Peoria area. We are hopeful of playing the finals at Peoria's O'Brien Field, but have not been able to confirm that yet.

Cost is $450 plus a dozen balls. That gives you a four-game guarantee (three in pool play, one in the finals).

Committed 18-U teams include: Bloomington Blue 18-U, Capital City Sluggers 17-U, Central Illinois Outlaws 18-U, Illinois Sparks 17-U, Kenosha Indians 18-U, Springfield Statesmen 18-U,St. Louis Pirates 18-U. Still need 1 team.

Committed 16-U teams include: Bloomington Blue, Central Illinois Outlaws, Kenosha Indians, Naperville Reds, Springfield Statesmen, Streator Zips. Still need 2 teams.

If interested, either PM me a reply or e-mail to BDiggle74@yahoo.com.

Ben,

Just a small gripe I have with all tournament organizers. Why $450 +doz baseballs? Why not just have teams pay $500?

I'm not picking on your particular tournament, it sounds like it will be a great event. Just airing a gripe I have with most tournament organizers that follow this "bring a dozen balls" idea. You get baseballs of different type and quality and it tends to be more of a hassle.

Just my 2 cents.
