Meridian Benchwarmers Baseball

The Meridian Benchwarmers will be looking to add a few more committed players for the 2026 season! We are open to all ages over 18 years old. Any uncommitted former High School player or recently graduated college players who still love the game, this is for you. We are a recreational Men's Wood bat team that plays in the Mississippi Heritage Baseball Association!

Benchwarmers took two wins in a pivotal series against the first place Jackson Yard Goats! The Benchwarmers sit in second place but it’s a TIGHT race! The Benchwarmers are tied in record and run differential with the Pine Belt Pirates, but the Pirates have scored 4 more runs than the Benchwarmers over 8 games, which puts the Pirates in first place! The league is incredibly competitive this year!

The Benchwarmers had to settle for the tie in the first game 5-5….. Then lost the second game 10-7 to a very good Pine Belt Pirates team. Benchwarmers still sit in second place but only thanks to the run differential… time to shift into the next gear and get after it! Benchwarmers will play next weekend at Pelahatchie High School against the The Yard Goats- MHBA League! This will be another very hard fought series!

A lot of great baseball over the last few weeks! After splitting our first series with Rojos de Mississippi, the Benchwarmers swept the Eagles of Mexico yesterday afternoon! Michael Wood and Azalius Lewis combined for the 1 hit shutout in game one for a 17-0 victory. Game two was much closer but after a shakey first inning, Johndavid Tumey settled in and shut them down through 5 innings for a 7-5 win! With these wins, the Benchwarmers sit in first place in the MHBA! Our next series will be against the Pine Belt Pirates at home on June 1st!

Benchwarmers split with Rojos! Final for the first game was 4-3, Benchwarmers came with the win 4-2 in the second game! Martin Wences went all the way on the mound for the Benchwarmers in the second game. Javier Henriquez collected 3 hits in the second game!

Catch the Benchwarmers back in action May 18th as they play a doubleheader against the Eagles of Mexico!
