New Rockford to Host 2014 State Babe Ruth Tournament
October 2nd, 2012 – The State Babe Ruth Baseball tournament will be held in New Rockford in August of 2014. The New Rockford Area Betterment Corporation (NRABC), along with the New Rockford Park Board and parent volunteers Eric Myhre and Jamie Risovi, created and presented a proposal to the North Dakota Babe Ruth commissioners to host the tournament. The team from the host city of New Rockford automatically gains entry to play in the state tournament.
NRABC Executive Director Sarah Smith Warren says the tournament will bring hundreds of players, parents and fans to the community of New Rockford, and that “hosting the State Babe Ruth tournament gives us the opportunity to welcome people from across the state to our community and show them what we have to offer”. The five-day tournament will take place in early August of 2014 with 8 teams competing.
