Another summer, the same old story. Boyertown has been unstoppable so far in Berks County League play this year, as they're out to a 13-0 start under the new schedule format. For years, the league had been one of the only ones in the state that featured all nine inning league games. This season, in an attempt to schedule more league games into the ever-shrinking amount of time allotted for play, the league has adopted a new format. Each team will now play every other team during a weekday nine inning game and a weekend seven inning doubleheader.
The Bears, who return many key components from another solid team last season, will host the 2011 Mid-Atlantic National Regional Tournament in August. If their early success is any indication, they could very well earn their way there instead of relying on the automatic host bid. League rivals Shillington and West Lawn round out the current top three in the league, with the Red Sox sitting at 7-3 and the Owls at 7-6.
