Hello all! It's time for the baseball post season, and we start our coverage of the Colorado Class 2A District 6 Tournament from Babcock Park in Rocky Ford on Saturday. We'll hit the air at 9:45am mtn, our first game is at 10am, featuring the host Rocky Ford Meloneers vs the Wiley Panthers. Game 2, set for around 12:30pm mtn, pits the Las Animas Trojans against the Holly Wildcats. The District Championship game will go around 3pm mtn, with the previous game's winners doing battle.

Rocky Ford, by virtue of winning the Santa Fe League title is protected, and is assured of advancing to next weekend's regional tourney at Runyon Field in Pueblo, even if they lose to Wiley (don't think so...). If Rocky Ford plays in the championship game, the winner will be #1 seed out of District 6, loser will be #2. If the Meloneers lose to Wiley, Rocky will be the #2 seed, the District Champion will be #1, the loser of Championship will be done. You know we're pulling for the Meloneers and the Trojans to meet for the District title.....

Again, coverage starts at 9:45am mtn on 92.1fm KTHN, and, here on Network1sports.com

See you at the ballpark!! PM
