Pennsylvania American Legion baseball tournament

Overview

The Pennsylvania American Legion Region 6 tournament opened in Beaver Falls, where Smithfield‑Fairchance fell 4‑1 to Blackhawk. A day later Belle Vernon defeated Blackhawk 4‑2, moving within one win of the regional title and earning a championship matchup against Baden. The winner of that game would secure the Region 6 berth to the state tournament at Bowman Field in Williamsport.

Belle Vernon later advanced to the state playoffs, opening the Pennsylvania tournament by beating host Williamsport 10‑6. The next day the team was eliminated after a 10‑3 loss to Greater Pittston in the double‑elimination round, ending their state‑tournament run. The competition runs from late July through early August, with the regional round held July 25‑29 and the state tournament beginning shortly thereafter.
