12U Babe Ruth World Series Starts Today!

It doesn't seem to hurt the baseball kids; they have similar rules at those age levels.

 

As in other sanctions Baserunner can leave when pitcher releases the ball. Pitching is limited to 9 innings in consecutive innings.

 

12U Babe Ruth World Series: Day 3

Plaquemine, LA. 6 Dover Attack (New Hampshire) 2
Lodi, California 14 CGSA All-Stars (Colorado) 1
Hamilton, New Jersey 13 Washington, NC 12
Everest Extreme (Wisconsin) 10 North Olympic (Washington) 2

 

Somebody must be doing something interesting; these teams are from all over the country! And this is 12U!

There are some really good players that play Babe Ruth. A couple that come to mind are Stephanie Williams, Pitt County, who is listed a number of times in the NCHSAA records; Jessica Rowland, still active, played standout ball in Babe Ruth. I believe her Henderson team reached the World Series in PA.

Wilders Grove in Raleigh used to play Babe Ruth. Don't know if that's still the case. Seems I remember back then it consisted of the all-stars of Wilders Grove. If I were to rank them skill-wise I would say they would be entry-level TB at the 16U level. Somewhat similar to PONY but tighter organizational rules I think.

It is something I would highly recommend if there was a local league.
