Meet the Vermont All-Stars

Vermont will be fielding an impressive roster of 18 top high school senior players, with athletes hailing from 14 different schools. The Vermont Baseball Coaches Association officially announced this year’s roster, and it includes some truly standout players from across the state:

  • BFA-Fairfax: Ryan Sheehan

A Tradition Renewed

The Twin State series is no newbie to the community. Originally hosted from 1983 to 2004, this fun-filled event was revived in 2015 and has been delighting fans ever since. The last time the teams clashed, the doubleheader ended in a split, which has been the case in five out of the eight series played since the revival. It’s also worth noting that nine games since 2015 have been decided by just one run. Talk about thrilling competition!

While Vermont’s roster is already buzzing with excitement, New Hampshire’s roster will be released shortly before the big day. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what stars will represent the Granite State—so stay tuned!

Gratitude to Middlebury College

The Vermont Baseball Coaches Association has expressed their heartfelt appreciation to Middlebury College Athletics and head coach Mike Leonard. Hosting this event not only provides players with a platform to showcase their hard work and dedication but also strengthens community ties in both states. A special event like this reminds us of the camaraderie and joy that sports can bring!

Mark Your Calendars!

So, dust off your baseball caps, grab your friends and family, and mark your calendars for June 28. Whether you’re a die-hard baseball fan or just looking for a fun Saturday outing, the Twin State Baseball Classic is the perfect opportunity to soak up some summer sun while watching some fantastic talent on display. Let’s rally behind our teams and enjoy a day of friendly competition!
