ICYMI: Enjoy these highlights from our first ever Great Lakes Regional Win over Washington Post 218 (MO) yesterday at the University of Kentucky!
This game had a bit of everything, Junior players stepping up, POs making plays in the field, everyone working great ABs, and an absolute π from @DylanBradford99 who was up to 92 in the 7th inning π₯π₯π₯
Tune in today at 2:30 EST to see us in action again! #94Boys @mvsonwilliams

Great way to put it right here β¬οΈ
Hit a @prepbaseball workout to get some numbers & see how you stack up against your class, attend college camps, surround yourself with a good village of people that promote you & have relationships/contacts with coaches.
βIf youβre good enough, college coaches will find you.β
One of the biggest lies in amateur sports.
Coaches canβt evaluate a player they donβt know exists.
Talent absolutely matters. But so do visibility, timing, relationships, information, and performing in the right places.
You donβt need to attend every event.
You donβt need to play all over the country.
You donβt need to over-promote yourself either.
But you do need a plan.
Because coaches canβt find you if youβre hidden, regardless of how talented you are.
Talent creates the opportunity.
Visibility gives talent a chance to be discovered. βΎοΈπ
After the dust has settled on Legion baseball, I've decided to keep some things locked up. However, we as adults have to do better at following rules, allowing the kids to play ball between the lines. Protests must go. Organization at the State level needs to be better. Cont.
What a special year for our 2026 Post 94 College Prep group, led by first year manager Austin Pizer. We could discuss all day how special this group was, but we want to list out their incredible accomplishments below!!
β
2026 Indiana American Legion State Champions, first in Post 94 history and first Northern Indiana State Champ since 2009
β
First Great Lakes Regional Appearance and Win
β
2026 Indiana American Legion Regional 1 Champion
β
2026 Region Collegiate Baseball League Runners Up, upsetting the #1 seed Lake County Corn Dogs
β
24 wins, 17-3 vs Legion Competition with 2 of the losses being 1 run losses. 141 runs scored to only 41 runs allowed vs Legion Comp.
β
39 games played, most for a team in Post 94 history
β
18 players going to College in fall or returning to school to play baseball!
More to come as we had some individual Post 94 records set, we are so proud of this group and look forward to having them back next year whether in the collegiate league or returning to legion action again!

Great and talented team. Beyond that though is a great group of guys that love baseball. Battled adversity this past week that this team definitely didnt deserve. We got through it though and maybe even came together more as a team. Thank you @Post94Baseba11 for a great summer!
The end to Post 94βs 2026 season was extremely fitting: A fight to the end with everything we got.
After the ruling Tuesday, 94 was left with 4 normal starters, one with a separated shoulder, and 2 normal pitchers. We were able to bring 4 juniors up to play, 2 being β28 grads and 2 being β29 grads. This allowed us to finally fill a full 9. We had our normal RF playing 2B with his separated shoulder, our CF playing shortstop, and our 2 POs playing the field for the first time all summer. But with all of that, the boys just competed their butts off for 14 innings!! That speaks to the depth of our organization, our excellent families, and the integrity of this group! We also had the best cheering section ever, our 8 #ineligibles.
Down 8-1 in the 5th of todays game, our boys could easily have packed it up. But they used their last 9 outs and put together an excellent rally! It came down to the last out with runners on 2nd and 3rd down 1.
In the 6th, Whitaker walked and Dante and Dom Belluomini singled with 1 out. @DylanBradford99 showed off his #POPop with a ripped double down the line to drive in 1, and β29 Jackson Pendleton had an RBI ground out to cut it to 8-5.
To keep the lead close, β26 @base_coop showed off his skills on the bump in his first inning of the summer, using a FB/Knuckeball/Sidearm SNK mix to work a clean 12 pitch 6th.
In the 7th, β26 Tristan Wilson led off with a 1B and β25 Ben Truby followed with another single. With 2 outs, β28 Dom Belluomini had another infield single to make it 8-6. With 2 strikes, Bradford showed off again with a bloop single down the line, scoring 1 to make it 8-7. Unfortunately, the comeback ended there as the final ended up being 8-7.
There will be more posts to come to talk about the incredible season that was had, but we will always be proud of this group and organization! We love this group of young men!!

94 WINS!!!!
94 takes their first ever Great Lakes Regional Win, eliminating Washington Post 218, the Missouri State Champ, by a score of 4-0! Congrats to Washington Post 218 on a great season.
The boys took the win despite having to pull up Juniors and having 8 ineligible players due to a ruling earlier this week. It was incredible to see the boys stick together and handle business, rallying around each other.
β26 RHP and Incoming Freshman @GraceCollegeBSB @DylanBradford99 was absolutely dominant on the hill!!! He scattered 1 walk and 3 hits over a 7 inning CG shutout! He struck out 11 and was up to 92 MPH in the last inning!!!
β28 Dante Belluomini was excellent coming up from the Juniors, making an incredible diving catch in the 6th! He also led the offense with a 2 run 3B in the first and an RBI single in the 3rd! β25 @btruby.18 was incredible, going 3 for 3 with a BB and 2 runs scored! β26 @tristan.wilson22 was 1 for 3 and β29 @oliverwatkins2029 added a hit as well!!
A huge shoutout to the best cheering section ever, our excellent ballplayers and young men. Those included @EthanGlass273, @lando_garrett, @keeganramos_4 , @LukeBayci, Cody Benedict, Logan Dilley, @DennisMalloy01, and @GrantMcFarden!!
Next up is another elimination game tomorrow vs the loser of the game between the hosts Lexington and the Michigan State Champ! We cannot emphasise enough how incredible this group is! Time to keep fighting! A huge thanks to all those who have supported us!!

One of my favorite things about the game of baseball is that, when a team does things the right way, and they settle everything between the foul lines, theyβre usually rewarded for it. Couldnβt be happier for the Indiana state champs
We are going to play baseball today! We were able to bring up 2 junior players to field a full 9 so at least some of our guys get the chance to play on the UK complex and in the Great Lakes Regional. It is an elimination game, but at least we will get to have fun and play in our first ever Regional contest for Post 94!
