Friday results from the 6th annual Snapper Shootout, which kicked off this evening with 16 teams competing for over $4000 in prize money with the winning team taking home $2500.

Anyone reading this that is within driving distance should come down for the day to enjoy some of the best fastball action that you will see outside of the ISC WorldTournament and Tournament of Champions.

Withthe temperatures expected to be about 75-80 degrees all weekend, what betterway to spend it then by finding a nice patch of grass, a cold beer and a burgerand watch some fastball. We have cold beer (and lots of it), great food at the concession stand, plenty of seating for the fans, and a live band in thebeer tent on Saturday night.

June ISC II Ratings in brackets. N/R denotes Not Ranked.
