After winning the PA Region 2 Tournament a couple of weeks ago, Pennridge went on a tear through the first few days of the PA State Tournament.  They won their first three games, securing an automatic bid to national regionals and the state championship round.

Since then, the newly crowned PA runner-up has dropped three contests in a row.  The first two came at the hands of the eventual...

The Spring City Red Sox, Pennsylvania's top legion team this summer, find themselves in a familiar precarious situation at the 2010 Mid-Atlantic National Regional Tournament.  For the third straight week, the Region 3 natives have dropped into the loser's bracket on the first day with an opening round defeat.

If the Region 3 and PA State tournaments were any indication, Spring City's season ...

Currently, Spring City trails Brooklawn, NJ 4-2 in the bottom of the 7th at Owls Field in West Lawn.

The Pottstown Baby Steelers forced a decisive game fifteen in the 2010 PA Junior Legion State Championship Tournament this afternoon by defeating the previously unbeaten Swoyersville 6-5.

Things were tight in the final for the first three innings, before Swoyersville rallied for eight runs in the fourth, putting the game away.  The final score was 15-8.

Pottstown won a thriller over the Boyertown Bear-Cubs yesterday afternoon, 13-12 to advance to today's championship round.  They will meet undefeated Swoyersville today at 11am at Sundstrom Field in Pottstown.

The Baby Steelers must defeat Swoyersville twice today in order to claim the junior legion state championship.

The Spring City Red Sox advanced to this afternoon's state championship game with a 7-6 win over the host Boyertown Bears.  The Bears scored 3 runs on a throwing error in the bottom of the eighth, but two 2-out runs in the 9th were the difference for Spring City.  Boyertown's season has come to end, but Spring City moves on to play Pennridge in the title game.  The Red Sox have also clinched the state's second berth to national regionals.

Spring City and Pennridge entered Friday night's Game 13 at Bear Stadium facing much different scenarios.  Pennridge, by virtue of its Game 11 victory on Thursday night, had already clinched a spot in Saturday's championship and a coveted spot in next week's national regionals.  Spring City, on the other hand, was facing elimination for the third straight day following its loss on Tuesday to Millcreek.  Pennridge opened the scoring, but Spring City was too...

The host Boyertown Bears stayed alive in the State Tournament, with a 11-3 win over Millcreek in Game 12.  Despite giving up an early run, the Bears put away the Region 8 champs, ending Millcreek's most successful playoff run ever.  The Bears will move on to Saturday's play, facing off with local rival Spring City at 12:30.  The winner will meet Pennridge for the State Championship in the game that follows.

We're proud to offer another set of live updates via our Twitter account for game twelve between Boyertown and Millcreek.  The game is an elimination game (with the winner possibly heading into national regionals) and will commence around 4pm... updates will begin shortly thereafter.
