Knightline Embroidery is once again our official tournament apparel provider. Below is the link to their pre-order site for our tournament. There may be more options and quantities available when pre-ordering than there will be onsite during the tournament. When they use the pre-order site, it was ask them which division their team is playing in - so Knightline will know where to have your order ready and available for pick-up. Pre-orders will be available for pick-up all 3 days of the tournament. Knightline will also be selling apparel onsite and both locations throughout the tournament. We have had dozens of people asking when the pre-order site would be ready, so please pass this email and information onto your teams, coaches, players and families, so they can be sure to get their apparel ordered as soon as possible!

Thank you!

On behalf of the Ohio Blast, we would like to thank everyone who participated in our 2022 Ohio Blast Father's Day Classic. We were blessed with good weather this year, and the event was once again a huge success, which would not be possible without the support of the teams who participated, their organizations, coaches, players, parents and guests. We truly appreciate each and every one of you. We would also like to thank any of our Blast coaches, players and parents who volunteered throughout the weekend as well. We could not get through the weekend without your help. Therefore, we are extremely grateful.

We would also like to thank our host locations of McCune Park and Springfield Township Baseball Association, the umpire crews at each location (Mike Williams, Steve Fee and Henry Frengel), USA Softball and Warren Jones (softballs). Our vendors and suppliers, especially Knightline Embroidery (T-Shirts), LA Impressions (Trophies), and Venezies Sporting Goods (softballs). We would also like to thank DICK'S Sporting Goods and Jim Famularo for once again, being a partner and sponsor.

11 months of preparation, 122 teams and 300 games is always a daunting task - even with good weather. However, the end result is always worth it! We pride ourselves on running an extremely well organized and scheduled tournament, and take even more pride in making sure we communicate with everyone along the way. This year we hosted teams from Canada, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. We also had teams from New York and Delaware who were unable to make it because of their HS seasons. We think that says a lot when teams from multiple states want to come see what it is all about, and we hope that trend continues.

Once again, thank you! Stay safe...stay healthy...and keep playin' ball. Hopefully we'll see everyone next year!

Sincerely,

The Ohio Blast

(Crazily, we already have about 50-60 teams penciled in for next year! So be on the lookout the next month or so for the 2023 tournament registrations to open up!)
