They will play in Winter place, Willards, Fruitland and East Little league fields also starting Wednesday 8am last game 6ish.
Hats off to Wicomico County Parks and Rec staff and the Wicomico County Tourism staff for pulling this event into Salisbury.
Poor organization on the part of ASA dealing with the weather.
The Ramada was the worse; under construction, unsafe neighborhood (prostitutes and riff raff), and a very unhospitable GM. Terrible experience, will never stay there again. Wicomico County Tourism staff should never have recommended them.
