Boyertown has enjoyed more legion baseball success than any other program in the state over the last several decades. With an experienced team last year, the Bears, from Region 2's Berks County League, took the PA Region 2 crown before finishing second at the state and Mid-Atlantic tournaments. The perennial power did not return a single starting position player from last year's team. Ten of the team's seventeen players are in their first year with the team, many of wh...

In 2011, the Wyoming Valley League was the strongest in the Region Five Postseason.  League members Plains and Back Mountain ran through the Regional Tournament at Bloomsburg, finishing as the top two teams.  Although Back Mountain knocked Plains off in the Winners' Bracket Final of the tournament, Plains was better on the final day, defeating Back Mountain twice for the regional title and the trip to the State Tournament.  This year's league season is sch...

District 11, which is located in Northeast Pennsylvania, begins play on June 2nd.  The league is comprised of nine Scranton area teams and the top six will make the playoffs.  Last year Green Ridge won the league title and finished with a 2-2 record at the regional tournament.  They'll likely be near the top of the league again this year, and Carbondale/Lakeland and Abington have also been strong in the past at the league and regional level.  A full l...

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.  ...

The Lehigh Valley League, an eleven team league that plays in Pennsylvania's Region Two, has released its 2012 schedule.  Last year's league title was won by Northern Valley, which along with Fullerton represented the league in the state regionals.  The league, which has existed since 1941, will only have one regional representative this year, so the run to the title should be especially fierce.  One major highlight of the season will be the league's secon...
