The WSSA Loses a Brave Warrior
On May 16th Bobby Bullock passed away. Bobby joined the league in 2007 and played for the Navigators and then Jiffy Lube until 2012. He was a great teammate and was able to be a good player despite suffering from several physical challenges. After he stopped playing he would keep score and coach the bases. He loved being part of the WSSA.
Visitation/memorial service will be held on June 8th at 1PM at the Sunset Park Baptist Church 231 Central Avenue, Wilmington. For more information go to Wilmingtoncares.com/obituaryrobert-bobby-bullock

Rain Date Games Explained
Any “Rain Dates” on the published league game schedule that are not used/needed as actual rain dates will be used to play league games scheduled at end of the season in ascending order. This then makes those games scheduled at the end of the season as available for rain dates. A revised WSSA game schedule will be posted on the WSSA Web site each time this occurs.
