As you may have heard, several years ago the national legion rule's committee adopted a new eligibility rule that prohibited the use of college freshmen on legion baseball teams beginning in 2015.  Earlier this season, that rule change was officially rescinded.  Any player who has not turned 19 years old before January 1st is eligible to participate in that summer's legion baseball season.

Last season, the only thing that could stop West Mifflin's march to a Region 6 title and state tournament berth was perennial regional power Blackhawk and the state's top pitcher, Brendan McKay.  Though they finished one win shy last year, this year's squad appears poised to build on that past success.

Few teams across the state have played as well as West Mifflin this season.  It's not just the gaudy league record, to this point 14-0 in the Allegheny South League,...

American Legion Baseball has crowned a national champion eighty-six times since 1926, every year in that span besides 1927 when no national tournament took place.  Pennsylvania is home to three national champions: Boyertown in 1982 and 1987 and Yardley in 1996.  Interestingly enough, Boyertown topped Yardley in the state championship that year.

Pennsylvania has also had its fair share of national runner-ups.  The first was Levittown in 1970.  They were de...

Zach Eddinger was not charged with a run in nine innings of work, and rode a big four-run first inning to a 6-3 win over North Parkland in the first round of the Region 2 American Legion playoffs.

“All of my pitches were kind of on today,” said Eddinger. “My fastball had a little pop today. It was nice to see.”

After innings of inactivity, something finally happened for Nazareth.

Something Nazareth pitch Brad Frase has never seen.

Things turned around for Nazareth, who beat Salisbury 4-3 at Boyertown High School in the first round of the Region 2 playoffs when Jake...
