Heartfelt appreciation goes to the Baseball Queensland tournament staff—Anna Day, first-time tournament director, for her remarkable leadership, Nick Wyllie, Assistant Tournament Director, Melody Callahan, Scoring Coordinator, John Proper, Umpire Coordinator, and Akane Hatai, Photographer. Daniel Spiers, Game Development Manager, Gareth Jones, Baseball Queensland CEO, and Tournament Advisory Panel (TAP), chaired by David Badke, have also been working very hard behind the scenes for weeks leading up to the event to make it a success. We also thank the Baseball Queensland’s Board of Directors for their support of this tournament.
A special and huge thank you extends to all the spectators, friends, and family who rallied together, providing unwavering support to the players throughout the tournament. From cold water and sports drinks, to snacks, shade, and lots of sunscreen, you had it covered for the teams!
Acknowledgment is also due to all the competing clubs and regions, their scorers, umpires, coaching staff, Executive Officers (EOs), and, of course, the players for their tireless efforts and commitment, making this event a true celebration of baseball excellence.
Looking ahead, the anticipation builds as the Open Women’s Squad and Youth Women’s squad are set to be announced this week. These talented squads will embark on rigorous training sessions, preparing fervently for the 2024 Australian Women’s and Youth Women’s Championships in Melbourne, Victoria. Queensland’s finest athletes are geared up to make a resounding impact on the national stage!
