Voice of Slo-Pitch

 

It is very hard to believe that the teams have passed the halfway plus part of their schedule already!

I hate to say it from a scheduling stand point, but we desperately need some rain as these diamonds are like playing on concrete!

We had another female winner in the Sammy's Fun Puzzle Contest as Heather Haley correctly answered the question and had her name drawn. Congrats Heather!

The answer of Duff to the question of the brand of beverage Homer as in Simpson drinks taking the 'y' off Corey's Restaurant Lauren Duffy's name.

This week's Sammy's Fun Puzzle Contest question is a very easy one if you have been keeping up on local events!

What is the first name of the celebrity who recently visited Sammy Krenshaw's? Text the answer and the name that was used in coming up with the answer to 519-550-4210 before noon Friday.

Good luck!
