Sounds of the all-American sport of baseball resounded last weekend at the brand-new four-field baseball complex in Sartell’s Pinecone Central Park.
From June 7-9, teams came from far and wide to participate in the Pinecone Park Inaugural Baseball Invitational tournament. The tourney served as a grand opening for the complex, which was so many years in the making.
And everyone expressed approval of the new facility. People praised its lump-free sodded surface, the bleachers, the central shelter, the four scoreboards, the convenience of parking and the green beauty of the vast park where it’s located.
Some people, noticing the complex is not fully completed, said they are eager to see it when it is all done this summer.
Fourteen teams played at the tourney from the cities of Anoka, North Branch, Moorhead, Alexandria, Becker, Mahtomedi, Monticello, Big Lake, Zimmerman, Andover, St. Cloud, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park and Sartell.
