Northumberland Baseball Association

Fall Ball Season - Covid-19 Announcement Tuesday October 6th, 2020 At tonight's meeting of the EOBA executive ... and in light of the ongoing and evolving Covid...-19 situation, those present voted to bring the 2020 Fall Ball season to an immediate conclusion. This is not a decision that was taken lightly and it was arrived at after much discussion. As a result, the EOBA will from this point forward not be sanctioning competition of any kind (games, scrimmages, etc ...) between different centres. In other words, no games with teams outside you're own association. Failure to follow this edict after October 6th, 2020 will result in an immediate and indefinite suspension of all coaches involved by the EOBA. With regards to practices, team tryouts and team workouts, the EOBA executive, after another vote, has decided to leave those particular decisions up to the discretion of the individual centres and their respective health authorities. The 2020 season has been admittedly a challenging one for our players, coaches, and volunteers and I, along with the EOBA executive, would like to thank all of those within our larger Baseball family for overcoming the adverse circumstances to provide many with a worthwhile Baseball experience over the past few months, all the while successfully navigating the various challenges along the way. Regards, Todd Denault EOBA President

The first of three Fall Workouts for 2007 Players is tomorrow.

If you missed out on the first workout, no worries! Join us this Saturday. See you at the diamond.

The 13U Jacks had the opportunity to wrap up their season with a pod tournament in Lindsay with Kawartha and Kingston over the weekend. It was a fun weekend in which the boys put everything together and were able to win all 3 games. They defeated Kawartha 9-4 in game 1, Kingston 10-9 in Game 2, and were able to defeat Kawartha in the final game 11-6. The boys used stellar pitching and defense with some timely hits to take the final game. The coaching staff is very proud of this group and has had a lot of fun teaching this group the game of baseball. A great way to end this season. Congratulations to the Players and Coaches!

We invite 2007 players to join Coach Ian for some upcoming Fall Workouts: Thursday, September 24th; 6PM @PH Town Park SR Saturday, September 26th; 10AM @Donegan Park Sunday, September 27th; 10AM @Donegan Park...
