Rhinelander Little League to host tournament this weekend
As an annual tradition, parents and local players collaborated with city parks employees Friday afternoon and evening, preparing the fields for this event. Parents volunteered their time to assist in getting the field and grounds at Hodag Park in tip-top shape.
Games today at 9 a.m. and will finish around 8 p.m. Play continues Sunday with same format. Games are played at both Mel Mode Field and the Minor Field. Twenty-four games will be played over the two-day tournament.
In all, 17 teams will be participating. The 14 out of town teams is a record high for the tournament. There will be three Rhinelander traveling teams playing, in addition to teams from northern and central Wisconsin and the Fox Valley area.
Many of the teams spend the weekend on vacation over Memorial Day weekend in Rhinelander, dining out, lodging, and shopping in the Northwoods. Any local businesses interested in sponsorship for the tournament, or for Rhinelander Youth Traveling Baseball, may contact Paul Johnson at (715) 282-6808.
