Six games until state

Following cancellation of the league tournament due to flooding in Cedar Rapids, creative scheduling changes give the Warriors six games to tune up for their run at the state title.

All games will be played at McKinley Field, greatly enhancing our concession revenue opportunities. The Clear-Creek Amana Clippers come to town Wednesday for a 5 p.m. double header. The Warriors split with the Clippers way back on May 4.

On Saturday, revenge is best served cold to the Corridor Mudcats. A noon double header is scheduled. The Mudcats handed the Warriors their first loss of the year way, way back on April 13 during the makeshift Cedar Rapids Spring Classic.

On Sunday, the Warriors host the Firehawks in a double header rescheduled from Monday and moved from Daniels Park to McKinley. It will be the season's first meeting of the two teams.

The Warriors carry a #5 ranking into the state tournament in Ankeny beginning Friday, June 27. A championship -- or a top-five finish -- would qualify for the USSSA World Series in Lenexa, Kansas the week of July 13.
