The National Softball Association rolls into town this week for its Class B World Series. There are 106 teams signed up for this year’s event, but that number’s down considerably from the 300 teams that participated last year. Most attribute the low number on the struggling economy.
According to the tournament director and NSA Vice President, “This tournament should have at least 180 teams. We feel like the economy is affecting vacation travel. A lot of families are rethinking their summer, not taking vacation time for softball. It’s a national trend, not only for us but for other softball and baseball organizations.”
In spite of the lower-than-expected numbers, the teams coming to Rock Hill this week should offer some exciting softball action. Games start today and run through Thursday when the championship games will be played.
