At the end of every year Coach Torve takes a minute to thank each and every Post 22 parent for all the hard work they do every day to make sure that our players are not only good baseball players, but strong young men. Thank you parents and coaches!

Talked to Coach Torve pregame, and he estimated anywhere from 15-30 MLB scouts are already present here in Harrisburg for this doubleheader. Several teams brought more than one scout. Game time is less than an hour away!

Just finished a 3 1/2 hr game against Creighton Prep, which will definitely be going into the books for the longest game played so far this season. Got the win, 10-8 after going into the 9th inning. What a game!!!
A lot of respect to the Hardhats faithful. The grandstand here in Brandon is over half-full of fans sporting 22 gear, and they were cheering from the first pitch until the last. Truly the best fans in legion baseball, and we wouldn’t be who we are with out you. Thank you fans!
Hardhats fall to Terre Haute, Indiana 4 - 0 in the Firecracker Championship. Thank you to Terre Haute for making the trip and being a part of our tournament! Thank you to everyone that came out to support the 2018 Camping World Firecracker Tournament.

@DudesLegion
Fitzgerald Stadium in Rapid City, SD has to be in the list. We’ve hosted a few World Series’. There’s not many places better than the “The Fitz” to spend your summers.
Check it out! Post 22's Brandon Soucy doing big things. For the past 2 years he has played for the College of Southern Idaho Golden Eagles. This year the Eagles were projected to take 4th in their conference and ended up 3rd in the nation! Great job, Soucy!
