Smyrna Hosts All Star Baseball Tournament

A pair of Smyrna Little League All Star teams will be in action Saturday afternoon.

As the great baseball hall of famer Ernie Banks once said, “It’s a great day for a ball game, let’s play two!’’

Well, the oppressive heat might not make it such a great day, but there’s definitely going to be more than two games played today as the Smyrna Little League plays host to the Little League of Georgia District II 7 & 8 All Star Tournament.

The eight-team tournament runs through Thursday and a complete schedule can be found here. But even if you can’t make it out to the ball field, select games will be webcasted at sportsjuice.com with David Albert, the voice of Kennesaw State University athletics, providing the play-by-play.
