Riverside and Patriots Park were the sites for multiple games during the USSSA Future Pros All Star Tournament over Labor Day weekend Sept. 1-3.
“We are thrilled to bring back this excellent showcase event to our community, showcasing some
of the best young talent from across the region,” said Columbia County Public Information
Manager Cassidy Harris in a press release. “This event is a great opportunity for these young
athletes to show what they’ve got and play in a competitive environment with quality facilities.”
The tournament featured 64 teams across the southeast, including Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama. Ages for division in tournament ranged from 8-under all the way to 18-under with a
chance to win a championship title.
Many fans packed out both parks from early morning until late in the evening through the 3-day
tournament.
Here are some views from the games.
