The Official Carolina Mens Baseball League Rules have been posted. Please review them in advance of the season – they are the controlling source of authority in disputed situations. The key change is that in the Red and White Divisions stealing home is permissible. This means that except in the Blue Division, a runner may score from third on a passed ball, straight steal or suicide squeeze, etc.

Be reminded that intentional contact is prohibited and will result in ejection and possibly suspension. We play to have fun and be able to go to work the next day.

Let the games begin!

The final pre-season games were played on March 28th, 2010 and some highlights can be seen on You Tube!

We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby!

The evolution of the Carolina Mens Baseball League can be traced from the gloomy, wet days of March to the sun-soaked debut on Opening Day in May. The photos and commentary have been gathered in “News Archives” under the League News button on the left side directory.

Red Division –

Catlin Engineers 2 Braves 0. In a pitchers’ duel, the  Engineers continued their unbeaten ways with a shutout over the Braves in a game that was completed in two hours.

JASE Wilsox 10 Catlin Engineers 6

The Sox came back 6-5 deficit in the 7th inning as Tommy Bowker picked up his first win of the season. Aaron Soodek had 2 hits and 3 RBI. Casey McBride chipped in with an RBI double and a rally killing diving play at 3rd base to thwart an Engineers rally. Walt Massey was on base 3 times and scored 3 runs.

Shockers 8 Halligan A’s 5

Shockers win 8-5 over the A’s. WP Nick Studebaker had a no hitter into the bottom of the 9th. Shockers defense was sloppy but they were able to hang onto the lead to win their 2nd straight and remain undefeated. The offense was led by Paul Patton and Ronnier Rodriquez and Jon Brunson picked up his first save by striking out the side.

Joe Seme and Frank Amoroso share a common bond, the love of the great game of baseball. They have played together on the Wilmington, North Carolina team in the Roy Hobbs Senior Men’s Tournament held annually in Ft. Myers, Florida. Their motto is “Forever Baseball, Forever Young” and they have established the Carolina Mens Baseball League for adult players  to share the fun and camaraderie of baseball with those looking to experience the sounds, smells (yes, analgesic balm) and joy of playing America’s Pastime. The league plays in the coastal area of southeastern North Carolina. This is your chance to be a Baseball player, again. See you on the Diamond!
