Lance Eddy, the tournament director for the Michelle Carew Classic, announced Tuesday that the softball tournament has canceled all of the games scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday because it is expected to rain those days.

The tournament games have been rescheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Eddy hopes all teams can play at least four games using a new format that makes it two, four-game mini-tournaments.

The majority of the games will be played at Peralta Park and Yorba Regional Park in Anaheim. Games will also be played at Canyon and El Modena high schools.

Eddy added the tournament to the app “Tourney Machine” to help keep teams, parents and the media keep track of the updates to the schedule.

CAREW CLASSIC LOADED WITH TOP TEAMS

The Carew Classic has again attracted a talented field. Eight of the teams ranked in the Orange County Top 10 are part of the tournament.

The lineup includes No. 1 Los Alamitos, No. 2 Esperanza, No. 3 Pacifica, No. 4 Orange Lutheran, No. 6 Marina, No. 7 Huntington Beach, No. 8 Mission Viejo and No. 9 JSerra.

Saint Francis of Mountain View in Northern California and Los Alamitos are seeded first and second, followed by Murrieta Mesa and Norco.

Norco is ranked No. 1 this week in CIF-SS Division 1.

The tournament also features Rancho Bernardo, Poway and Mater Dei Catholic from San Diego and Arbor View and Centennial from Nevada.

“I’m so excited,” Orange Lutheran ace Brianne Weiss said of the Carew Classic. “You get to play teams that are not really in your area. I love that about the Carew.”

Tournament host Canyon is the defending champion. The event honors the former Canyon player and daughter of Hall of Fame baseball player Rod Carew. Michelle Carew died in 1996 at age 18 after fighting acute nonlymphocytic leukemia for several months.

The tournament awards the Michelle Carew Most Inspirational Award each year.
