    • Most of our games are played on week nights, at Salem HS or Newton HS. Games start at 7:30 PM.

      • New teams are forming in 2018. For info, email johngambs@mindspring.com or call (770) 896-7379 How fast are the pitchers? In the 35+division, most throw in the 70's or slower; in the 18+ in the 80's. Bats? Wood bats only in the 30+ division; BBCOR or wood in the 18+ division. No metal bats allowed.
