PLAYOFFS BEGIN!

After months of practices, games, teamwork, improvement, and unforgettable moments, the Berkeley Albany Little League regular season has officially come to a close.

The records are locked in.
The playoff seeding is set.
And now… it’s time to raise the level of play.

With Little League’s exciting two-game elimination format ready to begin, every inning, every hit, and every out matters even more as teams battle for their division championship tournaments.

From Tee Ball to Juniors, our players, coaches, volunteers, and families have put in an incredible amount of work all season long, and now the postseason stage is here.

Let’s pack the fields with energy and support as our teams compete for championships across all divisions

Good luck to all of our BALL teams as the playoffs roar into action!

PLAY BALL!!

 Moms Take the Field!

This past week, the Majors Division completed its very first Mother’s Day “Moms Coach” game — and it was an unforgettable games filled with smiles, laughter, baseball, and memories.

For one special game:
– Moms coached the teams
– Dads sat in the stands
– And the BALL community came together for a fun celebration of the amazing moms who support our players all season long

From warmups to game-time decisions, the moms stepped into the coaching roles while dads handled whatever the Coaches for the Day needed:
☕ Coffee runs
🥨 Snack duty
👟 Shoe tying
🚗 Sibling transportation
…and everything in between!

Players were encouraged to wear pink socks, belts, undershirts, shoelaces, and accessories to celebrate Mother’s Day and show appreciation for the incredible moms and mother figures in our league.

A huge thank you to all the moms who participated and helped create such a special event for our players and community ❤️⚾

 From BALL to Ivy League Pitcher of the Week

Berkeley Albany Little League is proud to celebrate former BALL player Evan Kleinhans on earning Ivy League Pitcher of the Week honors for Columbia University Baseball.

Evan’s baseball journey began right here in BALL, starting in T-Ball with the Rivercats before continuing through the Marlins, Hurricanes, and Seals from 2009–2017.

From:
– Rivercats (T-Ball)
– Marlins (Rookie through Majors)
– Hurricanes (Intermediate)
– Seals (Juniors)

…to now dominating on the mound in the Ivy League.

Evan earned the honor after an outstanding week that included:
🔥 9.1 innings pitched
🔥 Only 1 run allowed
🔥 7 hits allowed
🔥 5 strikeouts

He followed up Columbia’s senior weekend by delivering a spectacular 8.1 inning shutout performance against Cornell in a pivotal 2-0 victory, becoming the first Columbia starter this season to pitch into the ninth inning.

The award marks Columbia’s first Ivy League Pitcher of the Week honor since 2024.

Columbia officially clinched the fourth and final spot in the Ivy League Tournament, which will take place May 15–18. Keep an eye out for Evan as he continues his impressive season on the Ivy League stage

We love seeing BALL players continue to grow, compete, and achieve at the next levels of baseball and life.

Congratulations, Evan! The BALL family is proud of you
