The Indiana County League (Region 7) opened play on Monday night with Young Twp. topping Homer City Post 493 by a score of 11-0.  The game was shortened to 5 innings by the 10-run mercy rule.  Sam Held held Homer City to a leadoff single by Garrett Omasta and fanned 11 in the win.

The York Adams League in PA's Region Four has added a new team this year.  Dillsburg has joined the league, bringing the number of teams to seventeen.  Last year, Southwestern York captured the league crown and performed well at the regional tournament, winning two games.  They were eliminated by league rival New Oxford, which went on to finish second at the tournament, falling just one win short of a trip to the State Tournament.  This year's expande...

In 2011, the Wyoming Valley League was the strongest in the Region Five Postseason.  League members Plains and Back Mountain ran through the Regional Tournament at Bloomsburg, finishing as the top two teams.  Although Back Mountain knocked Plains off in the Winners' Bracket Final of the tournament, Plains was better on the final day, defeating Back Mountain twice for the regional title and the trip to the State Tournament.  This year's league season is sch...

District 11, which is located in Northeast Pennsylvania, begins play on June 2nd.  The league is comprised of nine Scranton area teams and the top six will make the playoffs.  Last year Green Ridge won the league title and finished with a 2-2 record at the regional tournament.  They'll likely be near the top of the league again this year, and Carbondale/Lakeland and Abington have also been strong in the past at the league and regional level.  A full l...

The Philadelphia County League, which will have seven teams this year, will begin its season on May 29th.  Last year, the Olney Redbirds captured the league crown and made a good run at regionals.  This year, perennial league power Ivy Ridge hopes to return to past glory by winning the league title and the berth at the Region Three Tournament that goes with it.  Bustleton and the Del Val Senators should also be in contention at the top of the league.  ...

Region Four's Lebanon County League will begin its 2012 season on June 2nd.  The six team circuit is comprised of Annville, Campbelltown, Fredericksburg, Myerstown, Richland, and Lebanon's Fifth Ward.  Annville and Fredericksburg represented the league a year ago at regionals, which were hosted at Fredericksburg's Earl Wenger Field.  This year, the Region Four Tournament will shift to Fayetteville, and only the LebCo League's champ will qualifty.  The...

The Lehigh Valley League, an eleven team league that plays in Pennsylvania's Region Two, has released its 2012 schedule.  Last year's league title was won by Northern Valley, which along with Fullerton represented the league in the state regionals.  The league, which has existed since 1941, will only have one regional representative this year, so the run to the title should be especially fierce.  One major highlight of the season will be the league's secon...

While players and coaches around the state have been unwinding after a long and successful season for Pennsylvania American Legion Baseball, the groups that oversee the state and national programs have been hard at work.  Over the next couple of summers, legion baseball in the state will phase in two rather drastic changes.  

The national legion program has announced that beginning in t...

Things couldn't have started out much worse for the defending national runner-up this week in Shelby, North Carolina.  Eden Prairie, Minnesota began the 2011 American Legion Baseball World Series with an eight inning mercy rule defeat at the hands of Midland, Michigan.

The team was able to reverse their fortune on Saturday morning when a seventeen hit outburst propelled them to an eight run ...
