Wayne has secured the number one seed in the Main Line League Playoffs, which begin on Tuesday.  All ten teams will participate in the tournament, with the champion moving on to the Region Three Tournament hosted by Norchester.  Action will be Tuesday with a pair of single elimination games.  Number nine seed Nether Providence will visit number eight seed Aston-Media in one matchup, while Haverford is at seven seed Norwood in the other.  The two victo...

As teams continue vying for crucial positioning in their league playoffs that are set to begin in a few weeks, we thought we'd take a look at the Chester County League in PA's Region 3 in the southeastern part of the state.  The league very well could contain the most talent of any in the state.  

The league is home to Spring City, the 2010 state champions and 2011 high school state run...

In PA's Region 3, no team is off to a better league start than Bristol in the Lower Bucks League.  They knocked off Bensalem by four and won a couple close games against Yardley-Morrisville.

Things didn't go quite as well for Falls this weekend.  Despite throwing up twenty-eight runs in two weekend games against foes from New Jersey, the Region 3 natives were unable to come away with a ...

The Lower Bucks League in Region Three will begin league play next week.  Three teams in the league, Lower Southampton, Falls, and Yardley-Morrisville have posted full team schedules on their websites.  The links are below.  The league champion will qualify for the regional tournament hosted by Norchester.

The Lower Montco League will begin play this upcoming weekend, with each of its eight teams in action.  A year ago, Fort Washington followed up a first place regular season finish with a sweep of its playoff games.  The Golden Generals also performed well in the state regionals, finishing third at the Region Three Tournament hosted by league rival Warminster.  A full schedule and more can be found at the league's official site below.

Roslyn, of the Lower Montco League in Region 3, has posted their league schedule on their site.  The link is below.

We've gotten word that Pottsgrove, of the Chester County League in the southeastern part of the state, will not be fielding a team this summer.  Here's to hoping that the organization will be able to have a team representing their town next year.

All good things must inevitably come to an end.  Over the course of the past few weeks, it appeared that the talented bunch from the Chester County League in Southeastern PA would close their season earlier than anticipated.  They dropped their first game of the Region 3 tournament, before rallying for the championship.  They did it again last week, dropping the first game of the state tournament to Millcreek before winning five in a row.

Another day, same story for the host West Lawn Owls.  For the second straight day, they had a state champion on the ropes but surrendered a huge inning and ended up dropping the game.  Last night it was against Virginia champion Chesapeake, today, it's familiar foe Spring City.

The Owls led 8-4 heading into the bottom of the eighth.  Timely hits, a fe...

The Spring City Red Sox, Pennsylvania's top legion team this summer, find themselves in a familiar precarious situation at the 2010 Mid-Atlantic National Regional Tournament.  For the third straight week, the Region 3 natives have dropped into the loser's bracket on the first day with an opening round defeat.

If the Region 3 and PA State tournaments were any indication, Spring City's season ...

In the next couple of days, we'll be posting more information about the national regional tournaments.  Here are some links to help you better follow Spring City, Pennridge, and West Lawn as they enter regional play.

Here is a link to a page with links to the American Legion's Gametracker for each of the regions:

The 2010 Mid-Atlantic National Regional Championship Tournament bracket has now been posted.  Six of the eight teams for the tournament have been decided, with Maryland and New York's teams being decided today.

Be sure to follow the progress of PA State Champion Spring City in their quest to represent the Mid-Atlantic at the World Series.

Spring City bounced back to top Danville in game five of the 2010 PA Legion Championship Tournament Wednesday morning by a final score of 11-2.

Danville has been eliminated, while Spring City advances to game ten tomorrow afternoon, where they'll take on the loser of Boyertown-Hopewell.

Millcreek is making its fifth appearance in the Pennsylvania Legion Championship Tournament this year, with their overall record entering play at 1-8.  After storming back to defeat St. Mary's in the region eight tournament last week, they drew a less than favorable matchup with region three champion Spring City.

As we noted on the site last week, Spring City topped NorChester in an eliminat...

Spring City made its way through the hotly contested Region 3 Tournament in Warminster.  It was no easy path to get there for the Red Sox, who finished second to rival NorChesterin the Chester County regula...

Even after a surprising loss yesterday, NorChester still had one more loss between themselves and a painfully early ending to their season.  Their matchup tonight was none other than their longtime rival, the Spring City Red Sox.  NorChester got the best of the Chester County League in southeastern PA in the regular season, claiming the league's first berth to the regional tournament by finishing first.

The expectations for NorChester have been incredibly high all season.  For much of the year, the Bulldogs were undefeated and laying waste to their fellow Chester County League competitors.  From our vantage point, many considered NorChester to not only be one of the top teams in the state, but the team to beat in Pennsylvania this year.

After a few near misses at the PA Legion State To...
