Special thanks to the Hilo, Hawaii Hi-Landers with Cliff Silva and Wally Adviento as contacts for coming to Las Vegas over the last weekend for a scheduled 4 game series. The weekend became a double-header that was split by the Hitmen and the Hi-Landers. This Hilo team has been to Vegas on a couple of occasions in the six year span of the Hitmen, and what a great group of guys. There is hope that the Hitmen will regroup next year to travel to Hawaii for a tournament, or a couple of 3 game series in February or May as a final hurrah.

 

Thank you,

David Bell

Las Vegas Hitmen

The Swing Is Open to NAFA A, A Major, AA, AAA (&) ASA A, B, and C Teams.  The Premise for the Tourney Is for Teams from All over the United States, and Hopefully Canada and Mexico to Get a Jump Start to Their Season by Competing Against Teams They May Never See Unless it Is During a Post Season National Championship Tournament.

So Come One and All to Las Vegas for a Break from the Winter Weather and Enjoy a Pleasant Spring While Playing Some Quality Fastpitch Games.
