Friday's matchups are as follows:

Boyertown vs. Millcreek, 4pm

Spring City vs. Pennridge, 7:30pm

The Scenarios are:

Boyertown/Millcreek win, Spring City win: two teams play Saturday in game 14, winner plays Pennridge for title

Pennridge's dream season will last at least another week, as they are assured of a bid to national regionals.  Not only that, but they also find themselves with a spot in the championship round of the state tournament, they can finish no worse than second.

Things didn't look good early for the Region 2 champions, they jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, but quickly squandered t...

We're proud to offer another round of live updates via Twitter for the second and third games of the day in Boyertown.  To view the updates, which will be given every inning or so, simply click the twitter icon on the right side of the page.

We've gotten word that PA Legion fans from around the world (literally!) have been following along, hopefully you have been as well.

It was a huge day for Region 2 on Wednesday, as both of their representatives advanced with impressive wins.  Pennridge routed Millcreek in seven innings, beating them 16-3.  Boyertown blanked Hopewell, topping them 7-0.  The two teams will meet in game eleven, the winner's bracket final, at 7:30pm on Thursday evening.  The winner gets a trip into the championship round, and more importantly, a bid into national regional play.

Hopewell certainly has the top pitcher in the tournament, their ace literally hasn't lost a game since last year; while Boyertown may very well have the deepest pitching staff in the state again this year.  Their unsung number two starter Steve Price turned in the top pitching performance of the tournament thus far.

Price went eight innings, yielding just three base hits while shutting out t...

After a huge win, and an apparent upset, yesterday afternoon, Millcreek was looking to take the next step and establish itself as a top team in the 2010 PA Legion State Tournament Wednesday.  The Region 6 champs got by Spring City by a 7-6 score yesterday.  Today, they weren't so lucky.

Pennridge jumped on them, early and often.  The Rams posted sixteen runs on twenty-one hits in j...

State College entered this week's tournament with the most potent offense in the state, averaging almost fifteen runs per game in last week's region seven tournament.  After two games, they've been eliminated after posting just four total runs.

Following a suprising 2-1 loss to host Boyertown on Tuesday evening, the boys in blue couldn't get anything going against Upper Dauphin's Ben Ancheff...

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.

We'll be at Bear Stadium this afternoon for the winner's bracket games between Millcreek-Pennridge and Boyertown-Hopewell.  As we did yesterday, we'll post live updates from the game on our Twitter feed.  Every couple of innings or so you'll get a short update about what's going on in the game.

Day one of the tournament featured four thrilling games, all of which were hotly contested until the very end.  In game one, Pennridge edged Danville 5-4.  In the second game, Hopewell topped Upper Dauphin 4-2.  

Millcreek downed Spring City 7-6 in the third game of the day, with Boyertown beating State College 2-1 in the nightcap.

Taras Letnaunchyn couldn't have been more eager to take the mound for Boyertown in their opening round matchup with State College in the 2010 Pennsylvania American Legion Championship Tournament.  After all, his last time out there he was plagued by spotty control and ultimately ended up taking his first loss of the season in the Berks County League winner's bracket final.

Tonight's task inv...

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...

In the first of many exciting games on day one of the tournament, region two champion Pennridge held on and staved off a late Danville rally to win 5-4.

Danville was down two entering the ninth, when they rallied four two runs.  Despite having the tying run in scoring position with nobody out, they were unable to push the runner across for the equalizer.  

The first day of the 2010 PA State Tournament commences in just a few hours.  Eight teams, seven regional champions and a host, will take part in four games through the day.  The matchups are as follows.

Game 1: Pennridge (Region 2) vs. Danville (Region 5)

Game 2: Hopewell (Region 6) vs. Upper Dauphin (Region 4)

Before the state tournament begins this week, we thought it'd be interesting to look back at the somewhat recent past and how the regions across the state faired in the state tournament.  Here's what region claimed the title in each year.

Region: 8

League: Erie County, postseason champions

Millcreek will have the farthest trip of any team to this week’s state tournament, over four hundred miles to be exact.  They’ll embark from Erie County in northwestern PA, and travel over seven hours to Boyertown in the southeastern part...
