LD TABA

⚾️ 10U TOURNAMENT UPDATE ⚾️

What a game.

In a true rollercoaster battle that had a little bit of everything—including plenty of rain—our 10U team battled until the very last pitch, walking it off in the bottom of the 6th inning for a thrilling 14-13 victory over the NY Hammers!

The game swung back and forth all morning, with both teams refusing to back down. When the dust settled, our boys found a way to come through in the clutch and celebrate an unforgettable walk-off win.

These are the kinds of games that players, coaches, and families will remember for a long time—a testament to the heart, resilience, and determination of this group.

Congratulations, boys! Keep it rolling! 💙

⚾️ Tournament Weekend Update! ⚾️

We have two LD TABA teams in tournament action this weekend — 9U and 10U!

Our 9U squad dodged the rain this morning and battled hard at the Cougar Classic, but came up just short against Linglestown, falling 12-9. While the result wasn’t what we hoped for, there were plenty of positives to build on, and this group continues to compete and improve every time they take the field.

We’ll keep getting after it this weekend (weather permitting!) and look forward to seeing both teams back in action.

Stay tuned for updates and join us in cheering on our 9U and 10U players as tournament play continues! 💙⚾️

🔵⚾️ LD TABA Night at the Harrisburg Senators ⚾️🔵

The smoky conditions may have kept some families away, but they couldn’t keep our players from having a great time at the ballpark!

It was wonderful to see LD TABA players and families come together to enjoy a night of baseball, friendship, and community. Events like these remind us that LD TABA is about more than just the game—it’s about the connections and memories we build along the way.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to make our baseball community so special!
