The rain continues to impact on the summer of baseball and the Masters tournament now joins all the other competitions where games have been washed out.
Weather permitting, we are going to try and get this event completed this coming weekend.
A revised draw will be published before Friday 29th April, and we plan to recommence on Sunday 1st May with finals to be played on Monday 2nd May.
We ask that team managers seek their players commitment to this proposal as all teams will be playing on Sunday. If teams are unable to attend, please contact Tony McPhail 0411755776 or president@surfersbaseball.com before 5.00pm Thursday 28th April 2022.
Additionally, we are seeking umpires and scorers to make themselves available too.
Both Baseball Queensland and the Surfers Paradise Baseball Club look forward to making the event a feature on the annual baseball calendar.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
MONDAY 25th April UPDATE :
Hi everyone, As you may have expected the overnight rain has again saturated the baseball diamonds and play today is not possible. BQ and Surfers will be discussing the prospect of playing next Sunday and Monday so that the event can be finalised. At this stage this is most likely to happen so please keep an eye on the comms to issue this week. Thanks everyone for your co operation.
Masters Baseball is on it’s way to the Gold Coast at the same great
value as last year!
Games will be hosted by Surfers Paradise Baseball Club from Friday 22nd to Monday the 25th of April 2022.
