🏆 BRONZE BRACKET CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Talk about the ultimate redemption story! 🥎✨

Representing the West Liberty-Salem Ball Association, our Choice Properties Real Estate 10U girls showed world-class grit at Lions Park on Monday. After being knocked into the losers bracket early in the tournament by Kenton #1, the girls dug deep, fought all the way back, and swept that very same Kenton team in a dramatic doubleheader to claim the Bronze Bracket Championship! 👑🔥

Game 1: Choice Properties 9, Kenton #1 3
Emerie C. was absolutely untouchable in the circle, racking up a massive 15 strikeouts and allowing just 2 hits over 6 innings! The bats came alive early with Alayna L. (2-for-3) and Hadley R. leading the charge, while the team tore up the base paths with 7 stolen bases to force the final game.

Game 2: Choice Properties 9, Kenton #1 7
This one was a total seesaw battle for the title! After falling behind early, the girls showed serious heart, fighting back in the 4th and 5th innings to retake the lead for good. We had clutch hits and RBIs from Peyton, Laiken, Alayna, Hadley, and Emery, plus 10 stolen bases as a team! Emerie C. came in for 5 innings of stellar relief, striking out another 13 batters to seal the championship.

A massive thank you to our amazing sponsor, Choice Properties Real Estate, for supporting these resilient champions all season long. We couldn't do it without you!

Leave some love for our bracket champs in the comments!

Defensive Heroics Help Tiger 12U Avenge Earlier Loss to West Jeff

The WL-S Tiger Travel 12U held off a last inning rally by the visiting Golden Gloves from West Jeff in a back-and-forth battle at Kingscreek Ballpark on Tuesday evening.

Trailing 7-4 and down to their final 3 outs, the Golden Gloves opened the sixth inning with a hit batsmen, and back-to-back doubles to trim the Tiger advantage to 7-6. A stolen base put the tying run 70 feet away with no outs.

Tiger Head Coach Chris Anders called for a mound visit to calm his nerves, "To be perfectly honest, I needed to talk to (pitcher) Jack Troyer in that moment. That kid has the poise of a 10-year MLB vet. I don't even remember what we talked about. I just remember feeling reassured that Jack and his infielders had this."

Jack and his infielders did, in fact, have this.

With the infield drawn in, the next batter hit a hot shot to second baseman Benjamin Yeater. Yeater fielded it cleanlly, stared down the runner at third (who decided not to test the Yeater Heater), and recorded the first out of the inning at first.

Troyer struck out the next West Jeff batter on 4 pitches, and the final batter of the game grounded out harmlessly to Ayden Henson, who was playing just his second inning of first base this season.

The Tigers didn't just turn up the heat defensively in the last inning. Defensive excellence has been their calling card all season long. In the 4th inning, the Golden Gloves loaded the bases with just 1 out. A surefire base hit to Kingscreek's massive centerfield appeared ready to flip the game on its head until a diving Braxton Louden swooped in at the last moment to make an incredible catch. He quickly doubled off the runner at second base to end the threat and set the stage for the last inning drama.

Offensively, the Tigers answered West Jeff's 2-run first inning with 2 runs of their own. Hayes Robison hit a leadoff double (pictured) and later scored on an Ozzy Anders hit. Anders stole second and scored on a 2-out RBI single by Troyer.

The Tigers used a 5-run 3rd inning to grab the lead. Yeater set the plate with a leadoff walk, followed by an Isaac Falloon single, a Henson single, a Louden walk, an Anders single, a Troyer walk, and a bases loaded 2-run single by William Roberts.

Louden and Troyer split the pitching duties for the Tigers. Louden struck out 4 over the first 3 innings to earn the win. Troyer scattered 4 hits and whiffed 2 over the final 3 innings to earn the save.

WL-S lost to the Golden Gloves in West Jeff by a score of 6-1 on May 19th. Tuesday night's win is the Tigers' 8th in a row. Their season record sits at 14-2-1, and each opponent that delivered a loss or a tie to the Tigers were defeated by the Tigers in their next matchup.

The Tiger 12U is back in action at Kingscreek Ballpark on Wednesday night. They'll host the Benjamin Logan Raiders 12U for a 6pm contest.

🥎 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED THIS WEEKEND! 🥎

The West Liberty-Salem Ball Association is looking for community volunteers to help make this weekend's Logan County Ball Association Post-Season Tournament a memorable experience for hundreds of young athletes.

🏆 This 19-team, double-elimination tournament will bring teams from across the county to West Liberty on Saturday and Sunday, June 20-21, and we're asking for a little help from our amazing community.

The girls have worked incredibly hard all season long, and they deserve a first-class tournament experience. From preparing the fields between games to helping keep things running smoothly throughout the day, volunteers play a huge role in making that happen.

📍 Locations: Lions Club Park & Dodge Park
🕗 Time Needed: Any time between 7:45 AM and 7:30 PM on Saturday and/or Sunday

The best part? You don't have to commit to the entire day. Whether you can help for an hour, a morning, an afternoon, or several hours, every bit of help makes a difference.

Field prep volunteers help ensure that every team gets to play on safe, well-maintained fields and that our community continues to be known for hosting outstanding youth sporting events.

If you've ever watched these girls compete, cheered from the stands, or simply believe in supporting local youth sports, this is a great opportunity to give back.

☀️💦 What a way to celebrate an incredible T-Ball season! ⚾🐯

The West Liberty-Salem Ball Association wrapped up T-Ball season with a day full of smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories at Dodge Park. From popsicles and temporary tattoos to races, games, and plenty of fun around the ballfields.

Of course, the highlight of the day was the giant Slip-N-Slide down the hill! Watching our young Tigers race, slide, splash, and laugh with their teammates and friends was the perfect way to celebrate all of the hard work, growth, and friendships that were built throughout the season.

A huge THANK YOU goes out to the West Liberty Fire Department for volunteering their time and equipment to keep the Slip-N-Slide slippery! Your support helped create an experience the kids will be talking about all summer long!

Events like this are only possible because of the many coaches, volunteers, parents, sponsors, and community members who dedicate their time to making youth sports a positive experience for our children.

Thank you to all of our T-Ball families for an amazing season. We loved watching these young athletes learn the game, build confidence, make new friends, and have fun every step of the way.

📸 Check out a few photos from the celebration below.

AND...if you'd like to help us contribute to more wonderful memories this weekend, we are in need of VOLUNTEERS from 7:45am-7:30pm at either Lions Club Park or Dodge Park. Volunteers are in need to assist with field prep between 8U Softball tournament games all day Saturday and Sunday. Any amount of time you can volunteer would be a huge help! If interested, please reach out to a Ball Association Board Member (found at: https://wlsyouthathletics.org/baseball/board-of-directors-and-contact-info ) or email [email protected]. Thank you!
