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.  ...

A major shake-up in PA Legion Baseball has officially been announced.  The NorChester Bulldogs, long-time participants in Region 3's Chester County League, will make the move to the Berks County League this summer.  The move will solidify the Berks County League as one of the nation's top legion leagues with several state and national powers in NorChester, Boyertown, West Lawn, and Shillington.

Bristol claimed its first ever legion state championship on Saturday afternoon with a 11-3 win over Boyertown.  We'll have a lot more on the game and the national regional qualifiers coming soon.

The Region Three Tournament will begin Saturday morning and will be hosted by Norchester of the Chester County League.  The tournament will continue through Wednesday and the champion will move on to the State Tournament hosted by West Lawn, which begins on July 26th.  The opening round matchups are below:

Game 1 -- Spring City vs. Whitpain

Sometimes even the smallest mistakes can be magnified.  That is certainly true in playoff baseball, as Lower MontCo championship hopeful Roslyn found out earlier this evening at Upper Dublin High School.  Roslyn, seeking its first league championship in decades, fell just shy of upsetting second-seeded Fort Washington in the league's title game.

Fort Washington, the defending league cha...

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...
