The One Pitch

Better known as The One Pitch, The Plantation One Pitch Tournament has become synonymous with the opening of the area's Fall senior softball schedule. This year's tournament, hosted by The Plantation at Leesburg, will be held October 21 thru October 25 (October 26 as a rain date, if necessary).

Bob Andrews, Tournament Director for several years running, advises there are seven teams in this year's tournament. Each of the seven teams will compete throughout the week playing all six opponents one time each. The top six teams then advance to a single elimination round with the top two teams earning a first round bye. The week long event culminates in a championship game with the winners earning a trophy and bragging rights for the year. It's a coveted prize for those in the local softball circuit where friendly competition is paramount.
