\n49th annual Colfax Classic to feature Hall of Fame inductions<\/strong>
\nBy: Mike Ray, Colfax Record Sports Editor<\/em>
\nFor 51 weekends of the year, the ball diamond at Colfax\u2019s Living War Memorial Park sit mostly idly. There\u2019s some Little League activity in the spring and Tournament of Champions action in June, but, for the most part, its base paths remain empty.<\/p>\n

But every third weekend in August, the vintage diamond up on the hill that overlooks Colfax comes alive as it once did decades ago.<\/p>\n

This weekend, for the 49th consecutive year, it will happen again.<\/p>\n

Friday night the three-day Colfax Recreation Men\u2019s Fast Pitch Classic will kick off a three-day run that will feature nine men\u2019s fast pitch teams from around Northern California that will vying for championship honors in one of the state\u2019s longest-running tournaments.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the best tournament of the year,\u201d said Jeff Nye, player-manager for defending tournament champion 10-35 of Grass Valley. \u201cThis will be my 15th straight year of playing in the tournament and I really look forward to it each year.\u201d Click here to read the entire story and view photo at The Auburn Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n
