Just like that, our 2026 season comes to a close. Yesterday, we had our long time opponent, The Lansing Capitals come over to Portland for a fine match of 1864 base ball.
We were never able to get our bats going in the game. When we did, Lansing played some of the finest defense we have seen all year.
The final score was 16-2, Lansing. Ten of those came in one inning where they hit well, we made a few errors and just couldn’t get off the field.
Thank you so much to Lansing for coming over today. You played well and deserved the win. Also thank you to Arbiter Dr Marcus Dickson. Always honored to have one of the best come to Portland and explain the game to the fans during the game.
While the game and season didn’t end like we wanted, we are thankful to everyone who helped contribute to the team this season. Players, families, vendors for new uniforms and equipment, opponents, arbiters, announcers, and all the others who are too many to name. Thank you!
But never fear. We will be back next year even better. The schedule is already being worked on. See you in the spring! ⚾️🇺🇸⚾️

Over the weekend, the Portland Blue Sox hosted their annual Blue Sox Bash down at Bogue Flats. The Detroit Franklin‘s and the Cascada Knuckleheads joined us for an amazing day of vintage base ball.
The Franklin‘s and Knuckleheads played each other first with the Knuckleheads triumphant in a great battle.
The second game of the day was the Franklin‘s and the Blue Sox. The Blue Sox prevailed 27 to 8 with a fine hitting display by all. The game probably would’ve been more out of hand if it wasn’t for some amazing defensive plays by the Franklin‘s outfield.
The third game of the day was the Knuckleheads and the Blue Sox. This match was back-and-forth with the Blue Sox prevailing 23 to 20. Everyone on the Blue Sox managed at least five hits on the day with the two victories.
The Portland Blue Sox would like to thank the Cascada Knuckleheads and the Detroit Franklin‘s for coming over to join us this year. They’re both amazing teams of gentlemen who did base ball proud on Saturday.

This weekend, the Portland Blue Sox traveled up to Mackinaw Island again for another amazing match versus the Fort Mackinaw Never Sweats. The game was back-and-forth and hard fought the entire way with incredible defensive plays by both teams. In the end, the Never Sweats prevailed despite the Blue Sox, giving them a scare in the final inning. The final score was 20 to 16, the Never Sweats victorious. For the Blue Sox, Cricket, Huckleberry, Jeeper, Tex, Kingpin, Doc, Boone, Sparky, and Skeeter all had at least 2 hits. The biggest and farthest hit of the game for both teams was done by Drip in the ninth inning bringing us oh so close. We cannot wait until we get to go back up there again in three years. Great job to everybody and thank you so much to the Never Sweats for hosting us again. Huzzah! ⚾️
