They played the 31st Annual Bobby Murray Baseball Tournament down in Raleigh back on Thursday and Friday, and what was to be a three-day tournament became a two-day event, with inclement weather moving in for Saturday, and by moving the tournament up and getting it done a day early, Bobby Murray officials were able to complete the tournament/event….
