The 2009 honorees for outstanding volunteer contributions to the league are

Suzanne Peacock for many years of service a league secretary, assistant concession manager, and director of the league choir that performs opening day.

Dean Smith and Steve Lounsberry for their years serving as treasurer, bringing in sponsors, selling advertizing billboards, and keeping us fiscally  sound over many years.

There are a lot of rules that we just know for sure. The problem is, a lot of these "rules" are myths and old wives tales.

Check out the rules information on the league "Rules Info" page or click on the link below. You might just get a surprise or two. The rules don't always mean exactly what they say.

If you have any questions, post them on the rules message board. (You need to be a member of the site. If you aren't, Eteamz should offer you the opportunity to join if you aren't one when you try to use the board.) Or e-mail Rich Ives (richives@stny.rr.com).

We will be updating the schedule periodically to reflect changes and show the Baseball National standings. Last updated at 2PM June 9.

For the Little League Baseball division (National and American) in 2009, the league has decided to use "Option 1" (Regulation VI Paragraph (d)) of the pitching regulation.  This option is the same as the 2008 pitching rule.

The league has oppportunities for you. Join in the fun. Support the kids, baseball, and the community.

MANAGERS/COACHES: Contact Debi Schmidt  debi@midstatelitho.com  if you are interested in managing or coaching a team.

UMPIRES: We are always looking for volunteer umpires. Whether once a week, or more if you love it, you can enjoy the best seat in the house. Need training - no problem. We conduct training sessions to teach you how. Contact Jim Medovich on 754-6319.

WORKBEE DAYS: Like puttering around in the dirt?  Maybe you are good at handyman tasks. Things always need fixing. New things need to be built. Fields need to be maintained. The 2009 workbee dates are April 18th and 25th. Not available those days? We can always use help during the season too.
