With the safety of the players in mind, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the remainder of the Bling Chain Bash. With the record setting cold we feel this is best for everyone. Thank you all for sticking it out yesterday and we hope you all have a warm Sunday. Florida USSSA Baseball

All games have ended and the Sunday brackets are posted. We will meet with county staff early in the morning to assess field conditions. We will send out another push notification at that time with any updates. Thank you!
