Mansfield Independents Base Ball Club

We had a fantastic time at the 2026 Ohio Cup in Westerville, thanks to a lot of planning and hard work by The Ohio Village Muffins — thank you for another great year!

Playing vintage base ball is great, but meeting new friends and visiting with old pals is even better. We cannot wait for next year!

We are excited to play the Ohio Cup this weekend at the Westerville Sports Complex, 325 N. Cleveland Ave., Westerville, OH 43082.

Your Mansfield Independents have three games Sunday, Sept. 6:

- 10 a.m. vs Frosty Sons of Thunder
- 12 noon vs Fillmore Fungi

Big thanks to The Ohio Village Muffins for inviting us and organizing such a thrilling weekend of vintage base ball!

The set up is a little different this year. We've move the Hospitality area and the Welcome tent. But everything is still easily accessible.
