Over the Line League

The Over the Line League is scheduled to start on Wednesday evening June 17. This game is a 6 man game with a pitcher, a catcher, 2 infielders and 2 outfielders. You can have up to a 10 man roster if you like. Game times will be 5:30pm & 6:45pm. The idea of this is to have an hour long workout playing baseball. the only thing you will not do is run the bases. If you have a group of 6 guys who want to play baseball (Over the Line) every Wednesday night for up to 10 weeks please contact the league office. This is the first of its' kind in a league format. Many of you have played over the line at the park with your friends. This will be one step above. Don't miss the fun! Contact the league office at mrbaseball@nabasocal.com with questions. There are groups of guys looking for a few players so if you are interested and want to join up with some others let us know.
