Softball season is underway, but before teams from around the state dive into their region schedules, 12 teams from all parts of Georgia will descend on Statesboro for the Battle in the Boro which starts this afternoon and continues through tomorrow at Mill Creek Regional Park. The tournament, hosted by Statesboro High, has become an annual event for teams looking to get some extra games into their schedule and has become a great recruiting tool for softball programs in the area. “This is a great opportunity for everyone in the area to come out and enjoy some softball,” said Statesboro coach Jim Simmons.
