BOARD MEETING NEWS
1. The WHSS Board of Directors convened a meeting after the games on Tuesday. It was decided that WHSS would not adopt a Mercy Rule for our league but would continue to have the Flip-Flop rule in the last inning. The Flip-Flop rule states: If the VISITING team is ahead by 10 or more runs after the eight inning, the HOME team shall bat in the top of the ninth inning. If the home team catches up to or surpasses the visiting team, the visiting team will bat in the bottom of the ninth inning. Nothing has changed from what we have always be doing.
2. The WHSS Board of Directors is looking for a Volunteer to be the Equipment Manger effective Immediately. Lee Baker is currently experiencing health problems and we need to give Lee a break. If you are interested, please let me know or a board member know.
3. For the past several years, we have lost 4-6 weeks of playing ball at the DiamondPlex due to The Spring Games girls softball teams. The VIRUS has not been kind to girls college softball and those games have been significantly reduced. I would expect us to lose a couple of the games in our schedule at the end of February and in early March. As soon as I know for sure, I will let everyone know.
4. The City of Winter Haven has notified me that parking west of the ball field in the dirt and grass will no longer be allowed. All parking will be in the Polk State College parking lot. The gate will be closed starting Friday morning.
5. ELECTIONS ELECTIONS ELECTIONS ELECTIONS : There are three terms on the Board of Directors that will expire this year. Two of the board members still want to serve on the board and will run in the election for their position. If you are interested in running for a board position, please see me and get an application.
Thanks,
Don Witmer, Commissioner
