A Clearwater softball complex is helping make history by hosting the National Fast Pitch Coaches Association Leadoff Classic that kicks off Thursday. This will be the first time a collegiate softball event will be televised on the Major League Baseball Network. This event is kicking off the start of softball season. Carla Scrivener said the Eddie C. Moore Complex is gearing up for a busy month. “This doesn’t happen overnight. It takes a very large number of people to do what we do for the next couple of weeks just for the sheer volume of people that are coming to our venue,” Scrivener said. Scrivener said softball is a big draw for people to visit Clearwater. “We are a destination with the beach, but we’re more than just the beach because we have a number of wonderful facilities for people to utilize,” she added. This complex is breaking barriers and making history by hosting the NFCA. This week, more than 17 teams are in town, one being the Missouri State Bears.
