Hiram is cancelled for the day. I am at a loss for words, they got rain I guess last night and didn't tarp the mound and home plate. Any teams were supposed to play at Hiram contact me for a $250.00 refund. You should have played and I am truly sorry that you didn't.

Rain is not going to stop until at least 2pm up here in Cleveland. Here are a list of fields that are rained out for the day. We don't feel its right to pick and chose who gets to play on these fields even if we can later, that is why we are killing the whole day at these fields and teams at these fields are done for the day.

Baldwin Wallace
John Carroll
Lutheran West
North ridgeville
Tri-c

Everyone is on turf tomorrow, we are just going to have to show up and see. If there are delays or cancelations it will be on the message board here. Please do not text or call. It will not make the process faster it will only delay messages we need to get out. If you don't see a message you are on time at your field. Thank you

14u check your schedules for Friday and Saturday. We had a team not show up this morning that paid and registered. I was able to fix the schedule to not having any forfeit games.

6/12/2025 10:07 AM

Everyone needs to check their schedules. We have had some field location changes because of OHSAA State Tournament needing both fields at Thurman Munson and the parking lot. We also had Hudson taken away for Thursday and Friday because of a youth camp that had bigger number than expected. There were some other moving parts as well. North Ridgeville hs will have a throw down base at 1st base until the peg gets fix in the ground. It will be a heavy throw down base.

Schedule is now posted.
