The 5th Annual OK Classic

The OK Classic is a one day, 20-team, co-ed, 14-inch, charity softball tournament in benefit of the Warriors at Opportunity Knocks, a non-profit organization serving individuals with developmental disabilities.

In addition to a day of softball, this event features fun for the whole family, including a large kid's activity area, live music and entertainment, bean bag toss, great food and beer.

This year's food contributors include Roeser's Bakery, Aspire Coffeeworks, Sugared by Nikki, Skrine Chops and Alpine Food Shop. Live music will be provided by the bands Recycle the Day and The Shams Band.

In an effort to add another fun element to this year's tournament games that keeps with the spirit of the event, teams will have the opportunity to drop their mitts and bats for an inning and instead play kickball. Additionally, and as in year's past, the event will continue to also feature The Big House, another fun twist where players have the option to pay to have opponents and bystanders thrown into a makeshift jail cell.

First pitch is bright and early at 7:30am. The Championships will be played at 9:00pm.
