Our first merchandise pop-up of 2026! We were thrilled when Hartsville Volleyball reached out to us about playing a special game with McBee volleyball on 9/9 to raise money for Dylan Adams Endowment. Hartsville and McBee have been huge support for our family through Dylan’s battle and now as we help others in his memory. We couldn’t think of a better time to open up our Merchandise sale of 2026!

This years Jersey is special and unique and offers our tournament word for 2026 across the back, EXTRAORDINARY. I can’t think of a better word to represent our perfect boy and the life he lived so beautifully out loud, for 13 years. The colors are bright and bold just like he was. We have debuted our new logo “still swinging” on the jersey this year and love how it all came together. Philippians 4:13 on one sleeve and our 99 with wings on the other.

We will also have hats and DAE hoodies available for sale. NO HOLDS at this time, if you can’t make it-send someone to grab yours. We will have another pop-up before the tournament but I’m not sure when yet.

Please share to get the word out!

5:45 at HHS Gym.

I’m usually a voice of reason in Mike’s ear when we are ordering merchandise for our annual tournament. He decided to go on his own to order these hats, instead of narrowing it down, he got every color and style 😊. This hat has our brand new logo, “Still Swinging”. It represents so much! It’s the silhouette of Dylan smashing the ball at the 2017 World Series in Oxford, AL-memories we will cherish forever! If you would like to order one of these hats, message me here and I’ll pull it for you, if we sell our, I’ll make another order. They are $30 each, they have a snap back, and are all great quality hats (pretty sure they are all Richardson), with leather patch logos.

❤️Dylan’s swing may have stopped on the field, but his spirit, love of baseball, and legacy keep going.

It’s that time of year again friends, we are looking for Sponsors for this years tournament! We would love to have your support! Message us here or reach out to Mike Adams or Jennifer Morrison Adams.

With your help, we have given over $400,000 to-date to Dylan’s endowment at MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital pediatric Oncology department. They use this money to staff a full time psychologist on the Peds oncology floor. They help the families of the kids fighting cancer, both financially and through meal cards for restaurants and the cafeteria. They use if for research where needed and specifically in the “hard sarcoma’s”. We have a “Nurses fund” set up and have helped Pediatric Oncology Nurses with their continuing education and to be able to attend in-person clinics. We have helped numerous families locally in their fight against cancer. 100 percent of your donation is to help in the fight against cancer.
This tournament as well as the money raised and how it’s used is Dylan’s legacy. This is how he will be remembered. We humbly accepted help during the 25 months he fought for his life and this is our way to pay-it-forward.
We look forward to your support and appreciate every donation!

A huge thank-you to everyone who had a hand in this years Battle of the Bats! We are happy to announce that we have raised $99,778.56 through this years tournament! It takes a village to plan, organize and put on our 3-day weekend of fun, fellowship and baseball. We have the best sponsors that support our efforts, we have a team of volunteers that share our vision, and a community that’s stands behind us! An estimted 4,000 people came to Hartsville, SC to watch 62 teams play the greatest game on dirt! We shared the story of our baseball-loving boy, with as many of them as we could! Many left knowing who Dylan was and why we do this to honor his life and his legacy and help so many fighting the same childhood cancer that he fought for 25 months.

We already cant wait to see you next year, friends!
Mike & Jennifer Adams
And
