Baseball Tournament Results
This year we celebrate the 14th Year of the Baseball Championships. The Tournament’s inaugural game was played in July 1996, with
eight local Major Division teams. In 1998, the Baseball ChampionshipsTournament was expanded to include a Ponies Division and was
opened to all non-league teams. In 2004, the Yoder Foundation added a Joshua and Tyler Award to each of the Ponies and Majors
Divisions’ winners. In 2006,the tournament added a Colts Division to the playing venue.
The event continues to be recognized as one of the premier tournaments in the area for youth baseball. The event draws teams from Northeastern
Ohio and Western Pennsylvania involving over 600 boys ranging in ages from 14 to 11 and under, all vying for the winner’s circle. Many of
the boys participating in the tournament go on to successful careers with their respective high school baseball teams.
The Primary focus of the baseball Championships
is to promote quality youth baseball and good
competitive sportsmanship.
