Baseball and softball will be played at LU on July 25-26. There are 101 softball teams entered as of this morning.

I believe baseball has 4 teams, (South, North, East, and West) (high school age players)

101 - 4. Why the great disparity in numbers?

Baseball divides state into 4 geographical regions for high schoolers, whereas softball has numerous travel teams from 8 or 10 U, up to 18U.

Commonwealth Softball Games are in the books. 98 teams, 229 games over 2 days. I watched 10 of the games, Cider watched 4 or 5 if my memory is correct.

A LU commit playing in the 16U bracket, hit line drive over 220 sign in CF today.
