HATTIESBURG, Miss. — Due to the heavy rains resulting from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Barry, the 2019 9U Cal Ripken Southwest Regional has switched formats and locations.

The other teams remaining at the tourney include Magee, Miss., Gulfport, Miss., Cintronelle, Ala., and St. Charles, La.
The 9’s, coached by Rick Brown with assistance from Jake Hunter, Seth Hyder and Danny Dunn, include, Brady Brown, Dax Drake, Tagan Dunn, Evan Hill, Wyatt Hunter, Keller Hyder, Ethan Kelley, Austin Markham, Kaden Simmons and Crews Thomason.
