For the first time ever, the Town of West Hartford was selected to host the 12U Connecticut Cal Ripken State Baseball Championships!

West Hartford Youth Baseball will be the host league, and games will be held at Wolcott Park July 3-8.

The 13-game, double-elimination tournament begins Saturday, July 3, as eight District teams from across the state, including WHYBL’s own 12U team (the “Walrus”), will compete for the state championship. As hosts, the WHYBL 12U team will receive a bye and play their first game at 10 a.m. on Sunday, July 4.

• The WHYBL concession stand will be in full operation.
• Each day, a player chosen from the league’s younger divisions will throw out the first pitch.
• WHYBL is looking for local (youth) singers/musicians to sing or play the National Anthem before each game. If your child is interested, please email [email protected]
