Bar Blues Wins Progress Days Tournament

NAFA State Tourney in Bristol this Weekend

Even thought there was no 2020 Bristol Progress Days, there was a 2020 Bristol Progress Days softball tournament.

Madison’s Bar Blues won the tournament with an 8-7 win in the championship game over Kitchen Cubes on Sunday.

KItchen Cubes was going for a 6-peat in the Progress Days tournament after championships in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The Cubes led 7-2 in the 6th inning of the championship game, but the Bar Blues put up 6 runs in the sixth inning, and hung on for an 8-7 championship victory.

Bristol’s Jeremy McGinn said, “The Bar Blues never gave up, and kept battling. They’re a very young team with a bright future…. It was tough to swallow, but we look forward to may-be seeing them this weekend at (NAFA) state.”

The Bar Blues kickoff the state tournament this Friday night at Hansen Field, with a 7:30pm game vs Siebert’s.

The tournament runs July 24-26th. Friday and Sunday games will be at Hansen Park, while Saturday games will be played at Bristol School (2 fields) and New Munster (1 field).
