News and Announcements
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 related spikes and mandates, the Annual Whitestown Post Baseball Awards Banquet has been canceled. The 2021 season was very successful, culminating in the league regular season title and advancement to the District V championship game. Thanks go out to all of the players and coaches for their hard work and commitment… as well as to our fans and the members of the legion for their continued support. We will greatly miss the five players in our program that will age out next season – Ryan Cardone, Noah Collea, Logan Michel, Connor Montrose, and Noah Scranton. Best of luck in all of your future endeavors. Congratulations to all of the season award winners, which can be viewed by clicking on the ‘Awards Banquet’ link. Award plaques and scholarships will be distributed in the near future. Please stay safe!
