The Bahamas have bailed on the 2016 World Baseball Challenge in Prince George just three weeks before the tournament.
Tournament Chair, Rick Pattie says they would prefer 5 teams but is confident it will be a success with 4.
“We’re hopeful we can find a replacement and we will let everyone know as soon as we can but people will still get their money’s worth by watching some great baseball.”
A double round robin format will be installed if a replacement isn’t found.
The tournament runs from August 12-20 at Citizen Field.
Japan, Thurston County from the United States, Calgary-based Sidearm Nation and the Kamloops Sundevils are all confirmed.
Tournament passes are now available through Ticketmaster while single game tickets go on sale August 2nd.
