The Fort Washington Golden Generals commenced the Region 3 tournament by way of a fifteen run romp over Philadelphia champion Ivy Ridge.

The JP Mascaro Haulers had a slightly more contested win over Wayne.  Even still, the Greater Norristown League champions were able to move on to the winner's bracket with a 13-6 win.

We've added regional tournament pages for Regions 2, 3, and 4 so far.  We'll be adding the other regions (and filling in the missing teams) as soon as we can.

Fredericksburg stayed alive Saturday night in the Lebanon County playoffs at the expense of Annville.  Fredericksburg won the loser's bracket contest 9-7.  Today's action continues with another elimination game between Fredericksburg and Myerstown.  Undefeated Campbelltown awaits the survivor in the league's championship round.  A trip to Hanover for the Region Four tournament is at stake.

Following Saturday's quarterfinal games, four teams remain alive in the single-elimination York County playoffs.  Pleasureville beat Hanover 9-6, and will play at Spring Grove, which defeated Red Lion.  To seed Southwestern York knocked out Glen Rock 5-2 and Suburban York eliminated New Oxford by a 9-4 count.  Suburban York will visit Southwestern in Sunday's other semifinal.  The semifinals winners will meet for the York County title and a berth in the Region Four tournament which is slated to begin Saturday at league rival Hanover.

Following a very successful run during the high school season, Hopewell was forced to complete its legion schedule in just sixteen days.  The teams picked up right where they left off in the Spring, winning all fourteen games scheduled.  This same momentum stuck with Hopewell, as it defeated Beaver Falls 11-1 in the opener of the Best of Five Beaver County Championship Series.  Hopewell is now just two wins away from another trip to the Region Six Tournament which begins next week.

The heavy rain that passed through the area on Saturday led to postponements and delays through the eastern part of the state.  The three Bux-Mont League playoff games scheduled for Quakertown were pushed back, but were able to be played thanks to the great work by the grounds crew.  Hatfield stayed alive in the first game of the day by defeating Pottstown 8-7.  Another one run game followed, as Pennridge eliminated the Doylestown Tigers 10-9.  In the night cap, eight seed Perkiomen dropped the hosts 14-4 in a game that didn't end until early Sunday morning.

Saturday's results set up the schedule for Sunday.  Pennridge will meet Quakertown in a loser's bracket contest at 3pm.  Perkiomen, the sole remaining undefeated team, plays Hatfield at 7pm.  Win or lose, Perkiomen will play for the league title.  The winner of the tournament advances to Saturday's Region Two Tournament, joining regular season champ Nor-Gwyn.

Rivals Spring City and Norchester will meet Sunday in Royersford to decide the Chester County Championship following their victories in Saturday's games.  Norchester ended Caln's season 11-10 in the day's opener at Ram Stadium.  Spring City then finished off West Chester surprising playoff run with a 15-4 rout.  Norchester will have to beat the host Red Sox twice on Sunday to win the title, with Spring City only needing one more victory to claim Chester County glory.  The day's results also clinched a berth in the Region Three Tournament for Spring City.  The league gets two bids, and Norchester has already qualified by virtue of its regular season title.  That tournament kicks off Saturday at Warminster.

Milford and Hawley split the first two games of their District 15 Championship Series Saturday at Hawley.  Milford took the first game from the hosts 9-3, with Hawley striking back in Game 2, winning 14-2 to stay alive.  After an off day Sunday, the series will move to Milford for the finale.  Hawley and Milford will meet one more time to determine the league champion and the representative to the Region Five Tournament at Mountaintop.

Regular season champ Greater Pittston fell 11-4 to four seed Old Forge in the first round of the Wyoming Valley playoffs at Mountain Post's home field in Mountaintop.  Plains was the other first round winner, knocking off Plymouth by a score of 9 to 3.  Sunday's schedule begins with Old Forge and Plains meeting in the a winner's bracket contest, while Greater Pittston will try to stay alive in an elmination game against Plymouth.  The winner of the tournament will advance to the Region Five Tournament at the same site, joining league rival Mountain Post, which has qualifed as the host team.

The pairing for the new Schuylkill-Berks League's first title game was set after the games played on Saturday.  Tamaqua won the North Division crown by defeating Southern Area 12-5.  Southern Area had qualified for the game by ending Valley View's run earlier in the day by a score of 14-0, in a game stopped after 5 innings due to the mercy rule.  These games were moved to Pottsville from Tamaqua due to rain earlier in the day.  In the South Division, Kutztown disposed of Hamburg 4-1 to claim their own division title.

The championship game will be played Sunday night at 7pm at Reading's First Energy Stadium.  The winner will claim the league title and the league's lone berth to next week's Region Two Tournament in West Lawn.

Elk County League Champioship Series:

July 12th SM at Fox Twp

July 14th (if ness) Fox Twp at SM

Fox Twp and SM will play to decide the champion of the Elk County League. Both teams swept through their opening round series. Fox Twp ousted the two time Elk County League Champion Bradford in two games. The second game of the series will be talked about for many years to come as Bradford overcame a 12-3 deficet to take a 16-15 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning on a two out bases loaded infield single by Cory Viola. Fox Twp faced with the possibility of having to head back to Bradford for a series deciding game three rose to the occassion in the bottom half of the seventh. Lead off hitter Bobby Vollmer homered to right center to tie the game at 16. After a fly out Brett Quiggle reached on a single and moved to second when Jos Schlimm was hit by a pitch. Jess Cogan then stepped to the plate and delivered a game winning single to center that scored Quiggle as the Fox Twp advanced to the finals with a dramatic 17-16 victory. Since starting the season 1-4 Fox Twp has won 12 of their past 13 games to stand 13-5 on the season. They now face a SM team that has been near or at the top of the Elk County League standings all season long. SM took two out of the three regular season meetings with Fox Twp. SM won the first two games by 12-6 and 10-8 scores, while Fox won the third game by an 8-6 score. These two teams usually play some very interesting games so the finals should be pretty entertaining. Both teams will advance to the Region 8 Tournament starting next Saturday in SM. SM will be the host team in this year's tournament.
