Today, June 20th, is the first official day of Summer. It feels like Summer has been happening for about 30 days or so in the summer collegiate and amateur baseball league world. And now that NCAA tournament fields are settled or narrowed to 2 teams, many collegiate student athletes are reporting to their summer baseball destinations all over the USA. With so many leagues to cover, how does one do it? Instagram, X, League Websites, and a bit of luck I suppose.

Summer road trips are about as traditional as summer baseball. Families pack into cars with kids and pets and coolers and good intentions and hit the roads of the USA in search of lakes, beaches, recreation, and perhaps a baseball game or two. For me growing up, our summer road trip was always Maine, Bar Harbor to be exact. Fun times in a station wagon with no AC, aaahh those were the days.

SCABL Box Scores And Game Recaps - Thru Weekend of June 15th

June has been a weather nightmare for baseball scheduling so far from Tee Ball games to the Major Leagues. And including summer collegiate and amateur baseball leagues (SCABL) games nationwide. With just 2 plus months to play these games before school starts (college), leagues have to scramble and sometimes play doubleheaders to fit the games in.

Happy Father’s Day to all the great Dads out there. Whether you are a baseball Dad, a guitar hero Dad, or a new Dad with no idea what you are up against, today is your day to be recognized.

I hope you are enjoying these summer collegiate and amateur baseball league (SCABL) box scores, schedule updates, and game recaps as much as I am sharing them with you. Summer baseball, although it starts in the Spring, is family friendly, affordable, high quality baseball. Parking is typically reduced or free (in the streets surrounding the field). Food served is about as American as you get – hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, ice cream – and usually made right there at the food vendor.
The Bunt That Turned Around A Baseball Season, I Hope

Remember those days back in Little League or maybe High School Baseball when you took batting practice? Do you remember (if your coach subscribed to this) the first swings you took in those batting practice sessions? Were you instructed to bunt a few, then swing away? If so, you had great coaches who understood the concept of hand-eye coordination and how it relates to hitting a baseball with a bat.

I just thought of something…it is not officially summer until the end of next week. Yet, we have had a tremendous few weeks of summer collegiate and amateur baseball league (SCABL) action already. And one thing that jumps off the page when I read these box scores and see these Instagram posts is the fan attendance numbers. Wow, folks are really getting out this year to support their local team and check out the next wave of potential Major League Baseball players playing summer baseball.
