2021 Babe Ruth Baseball News

July 2, 2021: Welcome!!! The 2021 Sparks Babe Ruth City Tournament has begun!

The 2021 City Tournament has begun and from the looks of it, each team is working hard to move through each bracket successfully. Unfortunately there will be challenges, nerves and nail biters as we go. Third tier games last night saw the Braves come alive at the right time playing a doubleheader and beating back both the Rockies and Cubs by the score of 8-7 each! The Braves as well as the Padres continue their quest tonight preparing to challenge the Royals who are patiently waiting to play the championship game this coming Saturday, July 3 @ 11 A.M. Meanwhile, the Athletics wrapped up their best of 3 series by defeating the Giants to become the 2021 Sparks Babe Ruth 16-18 CHAMPIONS!

Fall Ball registrations are starting up also. Please ask for registration forms at the Snack Bar! Fall ball starts the first Saturday AFTER Labor day then continues through the end of October. All games will be played on weekends only (Saturday/Sunday)

The Sparks Babe Ruth City Double Elimination Tournament schedule can be DOWNLOADED HERE. The bracket (excel spreadsheet) can be DOWNLOADED HERE. Please note, if you download the bracket (excel spreadsheet) the easiest way to follow and determine the next scheduled game(s) would be to enter the scores ONLY. Once you enter the game score in the "score field" and press enter, the spreadsheet will auto-magically transfer the team name to the next successive game in the bracket (or not if the team has been eliminated). Both documents will be updated after every successful game completion.

If you have any questions regarding Sparks Babe Ruth Baseball/Babe Ruth National program please send an email to League Player Agent, Kay Curran from our "about us" page!

Our next SBR board meeting is scheduled for July 13, 2021 - 6:00 PM at Tommy's Grandstand, 830 Meredith Way, Sparks, NV. 89431. COME ONE, COME ALL!!! We encourage the public to attend. If you feel like helping out please volunteer for a good cause and join our Board of Directors!!!
