The Madisonville Miners play in the OVL wooden bat collegiate baseball league. Home games are played in the months of June & July at Elmer Kelley Stadium!
Please see the attached statement regarding our suspended game from last night in Dubois County. It was a difficult decision to make, but it was made with the best interests of our players in mind.
Today we say goodbye to our players as they had back home or to school. We thank them for spending the summer with us and hope they enjoyed their stay. We are proud of their efforts and their hearts. They are first class players and young men. They will always be Miners Family.
Congratulations to Brennan Hatten, Graham Hackbarth, Hunter Mercer, Jay Saunders, Nate Chevalier, and Zack Lightsey on being named to the 2018 OVL West Division All Star Team!
