Baseball and livestock, not to mention much more will take center stage in and around Clay County over the course of the next several weeks, as the Sutton and South Central (Fairfield) Junior Legion baseball teams head into the post-season this week, following a regular season finale on the DLD Park Legion diamond, that was to take place this past Monday night.
Sutton will be hosting the Class B, Area-1 baseball tournament starting this Friday at DLD Park, while the South Central fellas head to Hebron for action in the Class C, Area-4 tournament.
Sutton’s looking for a return trip to the Class B state tournament, but will face a stout list of teams, at least by name, with Aurora, Beatrice, Crete, Fairbury, and York coming to Sutton for action that will runs Friday, July 7, through at least Tuesday, July 11. Should a rain day be needed for the double-elimination tournament, the B-1 tournament could run into Wednesday, July 12.
