We wanted to pass along the story about the untimely death of a member of New Jersey's legendary legion family from Brooklawn, the Barths.� For decades the family has shaped young individuals in South Jersey and have been a part of one of the most storied franchises in all of the United States.� The Barth family is almost solely responsible for Brooklawn's historic rise to fame over the past decades, including a great deal of success on the national level.

We'd like to wish a Happy Father's Day to all of you dads out there! 

We took in the always highly anticipated match-up between the Boyertown Bears and West Lawn Owls of PA Region 2's Berks County League.  The rivalry generally features some highlight reel plays and a hostile environment.  Tonight's game was no different.

West Lawn jumped out to an early one run lead when their leadoff hitter began the game with a walk and came around to score on a base h...

Though information on PA Region 5 is hard to come by, the site is lucky to have a contributor from the area.  Nate, from Plymouth, has supplied us with a plethora of scores from many of the leagues in the region.  We thank him for his help and ask that if you think you could be of assistance to us to please send me a message or an email.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Hatfield and Nor-Gwyn are separated by just a few short miles, and the rivalry has developed into one of the most intense around in recent years.  Hatfield took the regular season Bux-Mont title last year before Nor-Gwyn stormed back to take the co-championship with Boyertown while Hatfield's season ended early.

This year, both teams were quick out of the gate, Nor-Gwyn undefeated and Hatfie...

The season is still in its early stages, but New Oxford couldn't be happier with the way they have jumped out of the gate.  The team from Region 4's York County is already 4-0 in league play, with several shutouts to their credit.  

Over the past several weeks, New Oxford has defeated Stewartstown 7-1, Dover 7-0, and Pleasureville 2-0.

Philadelphia's legion teams haven't enjoyed a great deal of success in the recent past, but are certainly poised to create a name for themselves in the area this year.  The Olney Redbirds and the league's perennial power, Ivy Ridge Panthers, are both undefeated so far in Region 3's Philadelphia County League.

Olney is 3-0 and atop their division while Ivy Ridge is 2-0 and in first place in t...

Chester County's 10 run mercy rule was in effect Monday night when Pottsgrove traveled to Royersford to take on longtime league power Spring City.  The Red Sox jumped on the visitors early and often, invoking the run rule after just six at-bats.

Pat Medley, Kenny Pierson, and Mike Ocyzpok led the way for Spring City behind the plate, while pitcher Sean Larkin got the win on the mound....

Region 5's Wyoming Valley League opened up its 2010 league season earlier this week with a couple games on the schedule.  

Greater Pittston topped Hazleton in their opener, 4-0.  Old Forge and Plymouth split a doubleheader, with Old Forge taking the first game 6-2 and Plymouth rallying back for a 14-7 win in the second.

Quakertown and Pottstown played in one of the most exciting games of the season so far the other night at Sundstrom Field.

Matt Cohen went the distance for the Steelers, surrendering eight hits and three runs on the night.  Pottstown appeared ready to take the game when they lead 3-2 in the top of the seventh.   The usually sure-handed Ben Eckroth committed an error that extended the ga...

Bradford has displayed some dominance in Elk County and PA's Region 8 in recent years.  And if their early results are any indication, they'll be a force to be reckoned with again this summer. 

Bradford is currently 3-0 in the Elk County League, with recent two-run wins over Kane and Fox Township.

St. Mary's al...

The Bux-Mont League in Southeastern Pennsylvania's Region 2 has always had a great deal of success on the local and state level.  Hatfield was widely considered one of the favorites to take the state title last year before stumbling in the Region 2 tournament.

This year, Hatfield is off to a fast league start again at 3-0.  Somewhat surprisingly, they are joined by Pennridge at the top ...

This a story passed along to us from Troy in Hanover... if you'd like to see a feature on a team or person you know send us a write-up to [email protected] and we'll put it on the front page of the site!

Over the past twenty-eight years, Jeff Miller has not missed a game.  Not a single one.  Jeff serves as an assistant coach, statistician, and field preparer for Hanover Post #14, which is located in...

We finally heard back from webs.com about some of the problems you've been having with IE 6 and IE 7.  The news isn't so good, as they have no idea how to fix the overlapping problem.  While they attempt to work out a resolution, please access all of the drop down links (without overlap!) from the home page.

We're sorry for the inconvenience, but it's out of our hands and we're working ...

Many of the scores and standings updates from the last several days have now been posted.  Scores are listed on the pages for their respective regions, and the standings for each league can be found in the drop-down menus for each region.  Please let us know if there are any scores or standings that are missing or incorrect.  Thanks for visiting!

Looking for a score you can't seem to find? It's quite possible the game you're looking for was postponed due to the ongoing PIAA state playoffs.  Legion teams from across the state have delayed some of their scheduled games so they don't interfere with the current high school season.

We'll find out when the games have been rescheduled to and post the results as soon as they happen.

So it turns out that those of you running Internet Explorer 8 (the newest version) are not experiencing problems, but those of you on IE 6 or 7 may be.

Though we're still working to fix the problem and have contacted the webs supervisor in hopes of resolving this, please consider downloading the new IE browser from the following link.  We did it last night, it takes just a minute or two, and...

We think one of the best features of the site is the ability to interact with fellow fans simply.  We've updated our settings and now you don't need to be a member to comment on a news story, we'd love to hear from you!

It appears that we may be having some issues with the site for those of you using Internet Explorer.  Most notably, the drop down menus tend to go behind the content and ads on the pages and some have some odd markings next to them.

Not only does that rhyme, but it's also true... we've added a brand new 'frequently asked questions' section to the site.  It is located under the same 'FAQ' link in the navigation bar as before, but now reflects the same formatting as the rest of the site.

Also, we've updated the questions and we think they will be much more useful and pertinent to the questions you may be having about the ...
