Sandlot Baseball

While we will no longer host tournaments at The Sandlot (formerly the old Mickey Owen Baseball School), Sandlot Baseball will continue to provide the same quality youth baseball tournaments throughout the 4 State region. Under the direction of Brad Longley and Tom Cox, Sandlot Baseball will be hosting tournaments in Mt. Vernon, and many other area facilities in 2024.

Sandlot Baseball tournaments will be one day (Saturdays only), 3 games guaranteed and played in some of the areas finest ballparks. There is never a gate fee and coolers are always welcome. We will use quality age-appropriate fields where kids from 8-14 can play baseball from April to August. The 2024 schedule includes 12 tournaments.

Thank you for the overwhelming support of coaches, players, parents and fans. Because of you, Sandlot Baseball lives on.

We hope you'll join us in 2024, and look forward to hearing those immortal words, "Play Ball!"

Building Better People Through Baseball

More rain, but May 16 Tournament plays on.

Friday evening rains coupled with an early Saturday morning shower almost canceled our second consecutive tournament.  While we weren't able to get all of the fields ready, we were able to get several divisions completed.  The weather turned beautiful and the baseball was awesome!

The city of Neosho was well-represented taking home the hardware in both the youngest age bracket and the oldest.  Neosho Baseball Academy won the 8u and the Neosho Wildcats won the 14u.  The Willard Tigers won the 11u division and the Liberal Yard Dogs won the 10u.  Thanks to the Sandlot 10u team from Mt. Vernon for coming out to play against the Forsyth Thunder.  In a special game, the Thunder held off the Yard Dogs in one of the best games of the day.

Special thanks to the Springfield Sports Complex for hosting 3 divisions.  12 teams got to play in 3 different age groups that otherwise, might not have had the opportunity.  Playing baseball is what we're all about.

Thanks again for your continued support of Sandlot Baseball.  If you're interested in playing in one of our future tournaments, please register early.  They are filling up fast this year!  Our next tourney is May 30 and it is going to be a big one.  We will be using the Mt. Vernon fields and who knows what other facility?!  

As always, our motto remains, "Building Better People Through Baseball."
