Saipan Major League will be holding an organizational meeting tonight at the conference room of the Gilbert C. Ada Gymnasium to discuss the calendar of events for this year.
SML’s Tony Rogolifoi said the meeting is set for 7pm.
Agenda will include the opening of the 2009 Budweiser SML and upcoming tournaments in Guam.
The 2008 season of the SML saw Rock Steady (formerly Bud Kings) outlast the Ford Rangers in the most stretched out championship series in the history of the league.
The title series was only a best-of-five affair, but it took Rock Steady and the Ford Rangers almost three weeks to wrap up the finals due to the uncooperative weather and the rolling power outages then.
Rock Steady won the series after sweeping the last two games. The eventual 2008 champion lost Game 1 and 3 and won Game 2 via forfeit when the Rangers failed to bring enough players at the resumption of the power outage-halted match at the Francisco “Tan Ko” Palacios Ballfield.
Besides the local league, SML is expected to discuss preparations for the 2008 Masters Baseball Tournament, which Guam will be hosting.
The Masters tournament in Guam will also feature teams from the Philippines and Hawaii, and possibly Australia.
