JUCO World Series Returns to Grand Junction in 2021

The tournament will be held from May 29th through June 6th but like most things, it will look a little different this year due to COVID-19 guidelines in place by the Mesa County Public Health Department. The will not be a tournament banquet or other community events involving teams including the youth clinic and Challenger game.
