Despite the rain, a lot of leagues were able to complete games tonight.  League updates have been posted so far for Regions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.  We'll continue to update the site throughout the night so be sure to check back to see how your favorite team fared.

Once a common site for regular and postseason legion baseball games, Balliet Stadium in Coplay has played a diminished role since it sustained damage during Superstorm Sandy several years ago.  A committee seeking funds to help renovate the stadium and restore it to its previous prominence has been formed.

For more information on the stadium and how you can help, take a look at the following story on the Morning Call's website:

Allegheny East

Monroeville and Springdale were the league's two representatives in the regional tournament.  Monroeville won it's regional opener 10-9 over Uniontown.  The team was not as fortunate in their next two days, dropping games to eventual champion Blackhawk and Connellsville.  Springdale went 0-2 at the tournament, losing a run-rule shortened game against Blackhawk and another to Uniontown.

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  Earlier this season, that rule change was officially rescinded.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...
