The 2011 BOLD Mudhens Invitational Tournament was a big success thanks to a lot of hard work by those that helped out and also thanks to a bit of luck with the weather. Our grounds crew were able to get the field ready for Friday's games despite a rain shower in the area around noon that day. Then we were completely spared of any significant rain the remainder of the weekend. The field stayed in excellent shape all weekend thanks to our workers.
Two teams dropping late from the tournament kept us scrambling to fill the eight team field. we were only able to replace one of the two teams but that late entry would go on to win the championship and give us the thrill of watching D1 prospect Austin Malinowski toss a three hitter in the final game. The tournament featured two no-hitters, a one hitter, in addition to Malinowski's gem. So the 2011 tournament will go down as one of the most memorable in its' nine year history.
