New Date for Sheftel Memorial Tournament!

The weather was the winner in June as rain storms drove the tournament to cancellation, but we have a silver lining in the clouds – a NEW DATE! 

Teams will take the fields on Saturday, August 16th at Lehigh County Sports Fields to compete in the 21st Annual Sheftel Memorial Tournament.  This is a modified day of family fun that will focus on game play, a raffle, and sweet treats from Fifi’s Ice Cream truck.

The schedule for the day is below:

3:00 – 4:00GOLD CHAMPIONSHIP (18G)

We hope you will come and cheer on the teams swinging for Shef!

🏆 Brackets
We’re keeping the Gold, Silver, and Bronze brackets. All teams will play between 2 to 5 games. Only four teams—some still competing in the Gold bracket—could potentially play five games. Most teams will play 2–4 games throughout the day.

📅 Schedule & Fields

  • Games run from 9 AM to 4 PM, starting on the hour.
  • There will be no scheduled breaks between games, so please make sure your team is ready to move efficiently from one game to the next.
  • The three championship games will be played back-to-back-to-back at the end of the day to keep up the energy and maintain flow.
  • We’re using fields C3, C4, and C5 only. We’re skipping C6 to simplify setup, reduce the number of umpires needed, and keep everything closer together for spectators and logistics.

👥 Teams
As previously mentioned, rosters can be adjusted and do not need to be limited to your original roster. New players should wear a shirt similar in color as your team. Discounted team shirts will be available for purchase the day of the tournament.

  • We have four teams not returning (Alex’s All Stars, Lucky 7’s, Green Hills, and Sea Jays), but there may be players from those teams who want to sub in with a new team.
    • Captains of those teams: If any of your players are interested in continuing to play, please have them email or text our tournament director Chip (570-447-8055) directly to get connected with a team.
  • Captains of active teams: If you need extra players, let me know as soon as possible so I can help coordinate. Please do not wait until the last minute to get people to commit to this date.

🎟 Raffle
We’ll hold a raffle for unsold Silent Auction items—please share this with your team so they can come prepared. Cash, Credit, and Venmo will be accepted.

Come out and join us for a day of fun (and hopefully sunshine!)
