Connie Mack World Series qualifer coming to the Capital Region
A 20-team Connie Mack World Series qualifying tournament will be played in the Capital Region beginning Thursday. Teams from all around the nation will be vying for a single berth to the Connie Mack World Series, to be played in Farmington, N.M. later this summer.
It is a wood-bat only tournament that features four separate five-team pools. Pool winners and two wild cards will advanced to a double elimination round, set to begin at 6 p.m. Saturday.
