The Ryan Lemmon Foundation will once again present the Senior Showcase Friday, May 19 and Saturday, May 20 at Ryan Lemmon Stadium.
Seniors from Orange County leagues will participate in the event, featuring seniors from Orange County Leagues. Most of the games will be seven innings.
The schedule:
Friday, May 19
Orange Coast League vs. Orange League, 6 p.m.
Home run contest immediately after the game
Saturday, May 20
Century (Crestview and North Hills League) vs, Sea View and South Coast (nine innings), 10 a.m.
Home run contest immediately after game
Pacific Coast League vs. Empire League, 1:30 p.m.
Golden West League vs. Freeway League, 4:30 p.m.
The event is held the same weekend as the CIF finals. Tournament director Dick Owens has said that the third weekend of May is the only available weekend for the event to be held. Next weekend is Memorial Day weekend and too many players would be out of town.
The Sunset vs. Trinity League game was cancelled because JSerra and Santa Margarita are in the Division 1 finals Friday night.
Canyon’s Jackson Chastain was selected to play for the Century team but he and his Canyon teammates will be competing in the CIF Division 4 finals vs. Crean Lutheran Saturday at 10 a.m. at Blair Field.
