Representatives from the five leagues that comprise Pennsylvania's Region 2 will descend on Hostelley Field in Nor-Gwyn on Saturday to commence the 2011 PA Region 2 Tournament.  The tournament will feature both perennial powers and teams trying to make a name for themselves on a larger scale.

Northern Valley wrapped up a bid to the regional tournament by w...

The field of eight has been set for the Region Two Tournament hosted by Nor-Gwyn.  The tournament will begin Saturday with four opening round games and will continue through July 20th.  The champion will join six others from around the state at the State Tournament which begins in West Lawn on July 26th.  The opening round matchups will be:

Game 1 -- Northern Valley vs. Pennridge, ...

By virtue of being the lone undefeated team left in the Berks County League playoffs, Boyertown had the luxury of needing just one win out of the possible two scheduled games against long-time rival Shillington on Tuesday evening.  Despite facing an early four run deficit, the second-seeded Red Sox rallied back against Boyertown's pitching staff and handed the Bears their first loss of the week.

It is no secret that southeastern PA has enjoyed more than their fair share of success in the past.  The area, home to most of PA's Regions 2 and 3, have accounted for the last seven state championships (Region 6's Blackhawk took home the title in 2003).  Many of those teams that have made a name for themselves are back in the mix for league titles this week.

In Region 2, perennial powe...

Over the span of the last decade or so, many teams in Region 2's Bux-Mont League have made a name for themselves and the league as a whole.  Hatfield and Nor-Gwyn have both won state titles (in 2002 and 2005, respectively) and Pennridge was the state runner-up last season.

Perhaps it came as no surprise that Hatfield was at the top of the league standings again after this year's regular seas...

The eight playoff teams and seeds in the Bux-Mont have finally been sorted out with one day left in the regular season.  The first two rounds of the tournament will be played at the higher seeds, before the remainder of the tournament moves to Quakertown's Memorial Park on Saturday.  In round one, regular season champion Hatfield will host eight seeded Nor-Gwyn.  Seven seed Pennridge travels to number two Doylestown.  Quakertown, which slipped in rece...

The eight team playoff field for the Lehigh Valley League has been set following Tuesday night's games.  The playoff tournament will begin on Thursday, with four first round games played at the fields of the higher seeds.  Regular season champion Northern Valley, which has already secured a berth to the regional tournament, will be the one seed and will host Southern Lehigh at Northwestern High School at 5:45.  Seven seed Coplay will travel to Orefield Mid...

The Berks County playoffs begin Thursday night with a seven team field for the double elimination event.  Since Gregg Post did not complete the season due to a lack of players, number one seed and regular season champ Boyertown will receive a bye through the first round.  The three first round matchups will be Conrad Weiser (7) at Shillington (2), Daniel Boone (6) at Twin Valley (3), and Exeter (5) at West Lawn (4).  The winner of the Exeter/West Lawn game...

Eight teams will begin play tonight in the first round of the Northampton County Playoffs.  The first round will be contested as a best of three, with the higher seeds hosting the first game, as well as the third game, if necessary.  The league will send two representatives to the regional tournament at Nor-Gwyn later this month.  Top seed East Stroudsburg will host eight seed the Bethlehem Jeffs and seven seed Kemp Post will travel to two seed Bath. ...

The fourteen team Schuylkill-Berks League will begin its postseason tournament on Tuesday night with a slate of six games.  The North Division, comprising the Schuylkill County teams, and the South Division, made up of the six Berks County entries, will conduct separate double elimination tournaments, with the playoffs culminating in a one game championship to be held at the home of the Reading Phillies.  The winner of the tournament will represent the league a...

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 ...

A few weeks into the legion season and there are already some familiar, and some unfamiliar, teams rising to the top of their respective leagues in Region 2.

Boyertown has jumped out to a quick 6-0 start in the Berks County League.  Twin Valley, who may very well be their top competition, has yet to play a game yet due to the success of their high school team.  They'll have to play anot...

On Saturday evening before the commencement of a Bux-Mont League game against Perkiomen, Nor-Gwyn will pay homage to longtime Perkiomen manager Ernie Quatrani.  Coach Quatrani managed the Perkiomen legion team for twenty-four successful seasons before retiring last summer.

The tribute will take place at Hostelley Field before the 7pm game.  While you're there you can take in some of the...
