Official Results
Thank you for your participation and support of the NBC Hap Dumont Youth Baseball State Championship.
We have crowned the Wichita Dodgers 2011 champion. There was no easy path. Each team faced rivals
from their leagues, rivals from previous tournaments, and rivals from other affiliations. It is as it should be.
The team that can hit the ball, play defense, and pitch will win. This tournament aims to create a true champion
from the state of Kansas.
Nothing and nobody succeeds but by following a designed path. We hope
that you have enjoyed playing within the NBC affiliated tournaments and will are encouraged to continue following the
NBC Championship course.
Field Location
and General Conditions
The SouthLakes Softball Complex at 5300 S. Meridian might perhaps be the closest candidate in the City of Wichita that qualifies as a modern regional youth baseball facility.
Though it's primary function is for softball use the eight fields available have proven certain age groups can adequately play baseball. You may find the dirt a
little tight to the basepaths, but the fences are fair for the age.
Gate
Fees
The Northeast Baseball and Softball Association goes to
great lengths to present an experience worthy of the event. Your support is essential and greatly appreciated.
This tournament has operated in the past by charging a team gate fee up front. There are advantages and
disadvantages to this method, but with exclusive use of the facility in 2011 we will be charging individual
admission.
Individual
day passes $5.
Umpires
Northeast Baseball
and Softball Association umpires handle the officiating under the supervision of Robert Sinks. Don't be surprised
to see three man crews in every game. Few are as committed to developing the proper championship atmosphere for
the teams as is our umpiring director and crews. We are as proud of our developing umpire corps as each coach is
of their teams.
Staff
The participation of many visiting
college athletes keeps the scoring of games and announcing of line-ups exciting and lively. Large numbers of volunteers and staff members are necessary
to host. With daily rain a possibility, the actions of parents, players, and coaches assisting with
rakes can make even the most delayed schedules possible.
Awards
A championship banner for each bracket will
be given. First and second place individual trophies will be awarded. First and Second place team trophies will also
be handed out. Trophies for the B bracket are also being given. All awards have been provided by Hap Dumont Youth
Baseball.
T-Shirts
Commemorative t-shirts will be available. Contibutions by Papa John's Pizza, The Genghis Grill, Fahnestock Heating and Air, and Rival
Electric have made the production of multi-colored high quality shirts possible. The best prices on shirts for players,
parents, and coaches will be attained by purchasing as a group of 10 or more. Team names have been incorporated
into the design to make a truly cherished momento.
Parking
Please
enter the park from S. Meridian. Access from 47th St. through the soccer complex is not possible. If there
is a drawback to the complex it is the distance from the parking lot to the grandstands. Please take this
fact into consideration. Parking along the outfield fences and concession entrance is prohibited and grounds for towing by
the City of Wichita.
