Run rules: 12 after 4 innings and 8 after 5 innings

Please be ready to play 10 minutes after the game before you ends!!! Be here early!!!

Field update!

Fields are playable! If we are able to, we will try to start the 9am games early as we do have rain in the forecast!

See everyone out at the fields!

Tournament Update as of 2pm on Friday

The 6:30 game, Brew Crew vs. Elm City Elite, is moving to 8pm at O'Neal. The rain is expected to stop at about 7/8pm. We will then take the tarps off the field and do a little field work, and we hope to play ball! Saturday is on as regularly scheduled as of right now! Thank you all!

*Please remember to fill out your roster and turn it in before your first game, along with getting your bats compression tested.
