Great South League pulls out of tourney
An All-Star-Team from the Great South League, a summer league for college players in six southern states, was supposed to compete in the World Port Invitational in Rottersam, The Netherlands, beginning today. However just a few hours before the start of the event and even after submitting a roster to the organizers, it decided to withdraw. The remaining teams now will play a triple-round-robin preliminary phase to determine the two finalists.
Thomasville Bombers Ruben Rodriguez and Drew Johnson were supposed to be on the Great South League team.
