The first pitch for the Antilles Elementary Girl’s Softball Tournament will be at 3:30 p.m. Friday on Ruby Rutnik’s Diamond. Ulla F. Muller Elementary School (3-5) will take on Antilles School (5-3) to open this inaugural event. Julius Sprauve School (8-0) will do battle with Jane E. Tuitt Elementary School (3-5) in the final game of the open day. Joseph Gomez Elementary School is the fifth and final team in this double-elimination contest. Gomez will face the winner of the Antilles versus Ulla Muller game Saturday at 9 a.m.
Julius Sprauve is a heavy favorite, boasting an undefeated campaign thus far this year. Behind a solid pitching staff and strong hitting at the plate, the Seagulls of Julius Sprauve are poised to have a great showing this weekend.
Host Antilles School is also having an amazing season. Despite playing all their games this season with nine players and a few with just eight, the Hurricanes have earned their position as the second-best team in the league. Their star pitcher, Annabel Boschulte, was lost for the majority of the season after breaking her hand over the Holiday break. Boschulte is back and will be on the diamond for the Hurricanes this weekend.
Ulla Muller, Jane E Tuitt, and Joseph Gomez have grown since their first game of the season. Pitching has improved, and players are also finding success at the plate. This tournament is a prelude to the playoffs starting Tuesday, Feb. 4.
Antilles School is also hosting its varsity basketball tournament this weekend. Ivanna Eudora Kean High School and Charlotte Amalie High School will rekindle their rivalry from the opening day. Their girls will face off around 6:30 p.m., with the boy’s teams taking the court at 7:45 p.m.
Before the clash of the public schools, Friday Antilles School boys will take on the Virgin Islands Montessori School and Peter Gruber International Academy in the second game of this round-robin tournament at 5:15 p.m. Antilles School Varsity Girls will try to pick up their first win of the young season when they welcome CAHS JV girls team to the MCM Center at 4 p.m.
All four teams will play each other in the opening round. The top two teams with the best records will face off in the championship game.
The elementary girl’s softball tournament is free for spectators. It is $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students with ID to get into the MCM Center for the varsity basketball event.
