During the regular season our local rules allowed free defensive substitions in order to maximize playing time for all the kids.

Our end of the season double-elimination league tournament will be played under standard PONY baseball rules which include a 9-player batting order and only players in the starting lineup may re-enter the game and must re-enter in the same spot in the batting order. Our only local rule will be minimum required playing time which is at least 3 innings defensively and 1 at bat. Bottom line is that for a team with 12 players, as an example, 6 players will play the whole game and 6 players will play more or less half of the game.

Saturday’s Reds game at !0:00 am will be played in Watsonville at McElroy Field/Franich Park. Saturday’s Guardians game has been canceled.

All are welcome to attend board meetings. We will be discussing league playoffs and post-season tournaments. Friday, May 13, 6:30 pm at Seascape Golf Club, Clubhouse Dining Room, 610 Clubhouse Dr., Aptos.

Our end of the season league double elimination tournament begins Monday, May 16. Giants vs. Reds at 5:00 pm at Polo Grounds. Winner of Game 1 plays Guardians on Wednesday, May 18.

Reds vs. Guardians 10 am game today is canceled due to wet field conditions.
