Minor girls playoff run Friday; junior girls host games next week
The bulk of the Little League games involving Rogers City area all-star teams gets under way Friday and Monday, including games at the Gilpin Field complex Monday with the junior girls (13-14 year olds) hosting Petoskey at 6:15 p.m. The winner will play Cheboygan the next day at 4:15 p.m., while the loser gets to play at 6:15 p.m.
The major girls are the only squad to see action so far, but lost their opener and were trying to stave off elimination Wednesday (see other story). The senior boys (14-16) are the other group that will be hosting games in Rogers City, although the schedule at the Senior League Field at Little League Park has yet to be determined.
It has been several years since Rogers City has hosted a playoff tournament. The three other all-star teams all begin their schedules starting with the minor girls, who play tomorrow (Friday) at Cheboygan. The first pitch against North Emmet is at 7 p.m. The rest of the games are on Monday. The major boys (11-2) will take on North Emmet in Petoskey at 5 p.m., while the minor boys (9-10) have been matched up against Harbor Springs in Cheboygan at 5 p.m.
