Dickinson, North Dakota – The Charleston Fighting Squirrels have traveled a long way to compete in the Midwest Plains Regional tournament in Dickinson, North Dakota.

Charleston is scheduled to compete in a four-team pool with Dickinson, Holyoke of Colorado, and Eden Prairie Black of Minnesota. 

On Thursday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. the Squirrels will take the field against Holyoke.  They will then play at 2:30 on Friday against Eden Prairie Black and then on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. they take on the host team Dickinson.

The other four-team pool consists of Oskaloosa, Iowa; Lyons, Kansas; Eden Prairie Red, Minnesota; and Fargo, North Dakota.

The top finisher in each pool will advance to a single elimination four team championship bracket.  The semifinals will be played on Sunday at noon and 2:30 p.m. 

The Squirrels will try to once again become the Midwest Plains Regional Champs.  Last year they defeated Oskaloosa to move on to the Senior Babe Ruth World Series.  This year's World Series will be held in Ephrata, Washington in August.
