LANTZ: It was a weekend of hard hitting ball at the Lantz Rec ball fields in Lantz on Sept. 20-22.
The fifth annual Braeden Bannister Memorial slo-pitch tournament, featuring more than a dozen teams, took place at the ball field over the weekend.
The tournament was all for a good cause, and one that the community steps up to support and participate in.
It was yet again another success, raising funds for the Braeden Bannister Memorial Fund.
No word on how much money was raised at this year’s tournament.
