SummerCollegeLeagues.com has learned that the Clark Griffith Collegiate Baseball League has decided to suspend play for the 2010 season.  The decision comes after much deliberation by league Commissioner Tom Davis and the team owners.

A week or two ago, I spoke to one of the team owners who told me that the league would be moving forward with their season.  They had added a new team to the league and he was looking forward to the season.  But in just the last two days, the decision was made to reorganize the league and get back to baseball in 2011.   An announcement from Commissioner Tom Davis is expected as early as next week.

Following the 2009 season, the Clark Griffith League lost two teams.  The Southern Maryland Cardinals made the decision to switch to the Cal Ripken, Sr. Collegiate Baseball League for the 2010.  The Carney Pirates decided that they were not going to compete at all in 2010.

Things started to look up at the first of the year when the league agreed to add the Reston River Dogs to the league.  It’s unknown exactly what happened in the past few days, but whatever it was, it led the league to decide to suspend play for all of 2010.

I’ll update this story as soon as I have additional information.
