Saturday at Hillside Park in Warterloo at the Elmira Cubs ClassicTournament
It is only the first ever Cubs Tournament in Waterloo’s Hillside Park, so it is a bit early to describe it as a Classic, but there were a couple of classic moments here today, including a three pitchers throwing 2 no hitters and a good junior team losing a close one to a good senior team…and a good senior team looking at 4 and 0 against some pretty good opposition
