Softball
Due to the June Softball calendar, the entire 2010 Grand Canyon State Games
sports festival has landed close to the same weekend as the City of Phoenix’s
Firecracker Softball Competition. In the best interest of all athletes, the Grand
Canyon State Games and the City of Phoenix have mutually agreed to avoid
any conflict to competitors. In 2010, the Grand Canyon State Games would
like to direct all our loyal Softball athletes that have played in previous State
Games Softball competitions to consider competing in the Firecracker Softball
event in appropriate divisions. We consider this a viable option, as this event
is a very well-run and respected Softball tournament. With the partnership
of The Fan 1060 KDUS on air sports marketing, a new feature was added to
this years Firecracker Tournament. There will be a Home Run Derby with the winner awarded
a new car. The Home Run Derby will start on Friday night June 25th at Rose Mofford Softball
Complex. Each contestant will be given 5 pitches to hit from their own pitcher. The first person
to hit a ball into a hole in a piece of plywood (provided by The City of Phoenix) will be awarded the
car. The cost for each participant will be $10.00.
