The Bryant Athletic Association has announced the All-Star squads for the 2015 baseball post-season, which will be highlighted in Bryant by the Cal Ripken 5 and 6 year old Regional Tournament starting July 9 to be held at Bishop Park.
Bryant will also host the State Tournament for the 5’s and 6’s, which will start this weekend at Bishop. (The 5 and 6 year old division of Cal Ripken Baseball is T-ball with a time limit of one hour, 15 minutes or five innings, whichever comes first with extra innings if necessary. There is also a six-run maximum limit per inning.)
In addition, this weekend will see the start of play in the 9-year-old State Tournament in Lake Village and the 10-year-old District Tournament in Benton.
