Parks & Rec Summer 2012 Singles Horseshoe Pitching League

Ringer
In 2004 two summer horseshoe pitching leagues started, a singles league and a doubles league. Each summer since then, a doubles league has pitched on Tuesday evenings. Starting in 2012, a singles league has re-started, pitching on Wednesday evenings. Part of the Moscow Parks and Recreation program, these leagues are open to area residents to participate.

The horseshoe singles league begins on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at 5:30 PM at the horseshoe courts in East City Park in Moscow. The league will run for ten weeks on Wednesday evenings (May 23 - August 1), skipping July 4. Registration fee is $5 per person (Moscow resident, non-resident fee is $7 per person). Please register by Monday, May 21 through the Moscow Parks and Recreation Department (883-7085).

In the summer of 2012, six pitchers play in the singles league. Here are the final player point standings as of August 13 (the end of league):
