The City of Gulf Breeze hosted the 2011 Dizzy Dean North State Baseball Tournament for the Under 9, 10, 11, and 12 age divisions, June 23-27 at Shoreline Park.
One hundred two teams, representing areas from Pensacola to Panama City Beach, competed in the four age groups.
“Gulf Breeze has hosted at least one age division for a number of years and this year we had a record number of players and teams,” said Ryan Ottensmeyer, tournament director and a member of the City of Gulf Breeze Recreation Department professional staff.
Winners from each of the age divisions travel to Lynn Haven (Panama City), and play in a sectional tournament to earn a spot in the Dizzy Dean World Series, held in Mississippi later this summer.
