About 1,500 people are expected to attend Northwest Florida Girls Softball Alliance All Star Tournament that began Saturday morning in Molino.
There will be 39 teams from across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties in Florida and teams from Baldwin County in Alabama competing in the six day tournament, including 16u, 12u at 10u teams from Molino.
Saturday was not a good day for the three Molino teams. Molino 16u lost to NEP. Molino 12u lost to Pace, and Molino 10u lost to Tiger Point.
Sunday games are scheduled from 1:00 until 7:00 p.m.
Admission is $2 per person, with funds going toward all of the ball programs at Don Sutton Park.

“We are hosting this to raise funds for park improvements as well as offset additional expenses incurred by park due to state and local tax cuts impliments in January of 2008,” Molino Recreation Association President Art Kleinatland said. “The MRA Board’s goal is to continue to run the park as efficient as possible and continue to look for opportunities to maintain or reduce cost to parent so more children are afforded the opportunity to benefit from recreational ball in the community.”
The tournament is hosted by the Molino Recreation Association and the NWFGSA with support from many local volunteers, including the United States Marine Corp.
