The Carson Park Classic is the first annual baseball tournament for independent 9 and under teams in the Midwest! It's hosted by the Eau Claire Bandits, hot off a big tournament victory last weekend in Antigo, and features teams from Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The tournament is this weekend, June 25 and June 26 at Gelein and Hobbs fields at Carson Park. Admission is free and concessions are provided by the Eau Claire Parks and Recreation Department. The Bandits will play Saturday at 9am on Hobbs against Osseo (WI) and 5pm on Gelein against Milton (WI). On Sunday beginning at 8am, the tournament begins with the championship game starting at 2pm.

Jake Tanner and Jeff McMahon were on the Watercooler this week to talk about the event and the first year of the Eau Claire Bandits (Click here for audio). You can find out more about the Bandits by visiting the website below.
