The Dayton Sting Baseball Club is pleased to announce our Summer Smash tournament dates for 2013. The event will take place in Miamisburg, Ohio from July 4th thru July 7th. The tournament will be held at Rice Field, at First Church of God, and at Miamisburg High School. We may add some other sites for the older age groups as necessary. This is the first time that the majority of the event will be held in one central location, this will provide a much more focused, fun, experience. We have partnered with BPA this year and teams finishing high in our tourney will get automatic bids to their World Series event in Tennessee. We will have BPA certified umpires working all of the games and will have skills competitions in some form for all age groups. The entry form is now available on this site, click on the Summer Smash Info./Other Forms to find it. We are starting to get a lot of teams signing up, a detailed list will be posted soon.

We have an immediate opening on the Sting 11U Gold and Sting 17U team for the right person. Please contact Tim Dunaway at tdunaway4eagle@sbcglobal.net for details.

Also, thanks a thousand times over to the volunteers who worked very hard to make this event a huge success.    
  • We are continually looking to upgrade our teams at all age levels! Please contact the club coordinator to schedule a private evaluation session! 
  • If you need directions to a particular away ballpark they can be found on the MWOBL website at www.midwestohiobaseball.com! It is strongly recommended that you save this site under your favorites and use it. The directions are listed under the tab which says "field directions".

The home of the Sting Baseball Club is the First Church of God Sports Complex on Heincke Road in Miamisburg. Directions to the facility can be found on the Midwest Ohio Baseball League site.                                                                                  
  • A few insights for moving around and finding information on the Sting site. Each age group has their own section with all applicable games and practices listed on the top of this page. Directions to various parks can be found under locations on this site or on the MWOBL website which is listed under the links tab. Also, you can access your specific team information (eg. roster, stats, schedule, etc.) by clicking on the drop down box in each category and selecting the team you want. Any questions contact Coach Tim anytime. 
  • Corporate donations: The Dayton Sting receives about half the money it takes to operate select baseball teams from corporate sponsorships. Companies and individuals who would like to help out financially are encouraged to contact the appropriate age group coordinator. Any corporation, business, or individual who donates a minimum of $250.00 receives the following in exchange. Name on the website under the sponsors section, name on the team banner, framed team picture, thank you letter, and a follow-up letter. If you know someone who has interest in becoming a donor for the Sting please have them contact the relevant age group sponsor representative, Tim Dunaway (8U), Eric Gearhart (9U), Scott Whitesell (10U), Matt Sundermann (11U Black), Tim Dunaway (11U Gold), Jim Yerkins (12U), Sean Nuessgen (13U), TBD (15U), and Tim Dunaway (17U).
