The inaugural Cam Christian Memorial Tournament begins Thursday and continues through Sunday, June 2-5, at Auburn, Federal Way and Tacoma baseball fields.

The first games of the 15/16U tournament start at 5:30 p.m. at Auburn, Auburn Mountainview and Auburn Riverside high schools.

The GSL USSSA-affiliated tournament has been organized in memory of Christian, who grew up playing baseball in Auburn. He was the team captain at Seattle University at the time of his death in October of 2011. His desire was to some day coach baseball, teach the game he loved and give back to the community that supported him.

Proceeds will go to local baseball programs.
