From Bill Hillhouse:
Here is the draw for the Ed McCormick Hall of Fame tournament in Erie PA, August 3 -5 , 2012.
I did my best to keep teams away from each other that have played multiple times while trying to keep the brackets even. Expanding the tournament to 10 teams for this year meant having to use a 3rd field and means teams are going to have to change diamonds frequently. I did my best to restrict how much movement was taking place while also trying to keep the best games on the main field (11th and Hess) as possible.
For fans and teams coming… at the main ball fields is a large parking lot that has been off limits to us in year’s past. There are multiple “no parking” signs there. However, the company is lifting the ban for the weekend and cars can park there freely. You will find addresses below for the 2 fields
There will be concessions at the ballpark again and the bar across the street will have beer. Alcohol is allowed in the park as you watch games.
Addresses for the parks and Avalon hotels are below:
For 11th and 12th Hess: 1137 E. 11th Street
For 13th and Wayne: 759 E. 12th Street.
For Avalon Hotel: 16 W. 10th street

Ballpark Radio will be in Erie, Pennsylvania August 3-5, 2012 to broadcast live from Ed McCormick Hall of Fame Tournament.
Jim Flanagan will anchor the broadcasts, with (at least) five (5) broadcasts over the three day tournament, with guest color commentators.
The broadcasts will get underway at 7pm on Friday night, featuring the Midland Explorers against the Argentine Jr. National team. The young Argentine squad is getting some top level competition under their belt, in preparation for their participation in the ISF Jr. World Championship in November 2012 — a tournament that they will host in the city of Parana, Argentina.
Flanagan will get an up close look at the young team from Argentina, as he is slated to pitch an inning or two in an exhibition game scheduled in Erie Thursday night at 7pm EDT.
