The 5th Annual Vancouver Challenge Mens FP tournament concluded just prior to 6:00 pm local time on Sunday evening. The large crowd of fastpitch enthusiasts were once again treated to some high quality team and individual performances. Unfortunately mother nature was not so kind to the event on Sunday as a 75 minute rain delay during the first games in the morning, set things back somewhat in terms of the scheduling. Thanks to the teams and umpires cooperation, coupled with the grounds crew efforts, along with clearing skies and pleasant weather the rest of the day the event went off without any further delays.
