Baseball showcase weekend on tap in Orono

ORONO – A baseball showcase weekend will be hosted by the University of Maine Men’s Sport Club Sept. 18-19 at Mahaney Diamond and Orono High School.

The New England Club Baseball Association was formed in 2000 with four schools – University of New Hampshire, Boston University, University of New England, and Central Maine Technical College. The purpose of the league is to offer a competitive baseball experience that meets the needs of the student-athlete and provides a structure to promote collegiate baseball within the region.

The NECBA will continue to enhance collegiate baseball within the region by offering a season schedule in the fall semester, which will include a regular season and play-off structure.

The NECBA will continue to assist new teams with the goal to increase playing opportunities for college students by allowing new team memberships within the league.
