Editor’s notes:
Anyone who played over the weekend in Prescott, AZ had to be impressed with the improvements at the Pioneer complex. I was there when they hosted the 2005 50+, and it was rough, and rocky. They brought in 17 tons of top quality red brick dust for the infields, manicured the outfield grass, and put up white tubular portable fencing at championship distances, turning it into a first rate facility. Don Fishel and Sharon Mitchell and their crew do a great job of hosting, and making the teams feel welcome. They’re on site, posting results promptly, including an online bracket with daily results. Next year’s Class B and 50+ will be in good hands.
