Mars Fall Baseball
Welcome to Mar’s Fall Baseball! Just because summer is ending, does not mean baseball has too. Fall baseball is great way for players new to the game to develop fundamentals and learn the game while playing, as well as allowing returning players to sharpen their skills while playing games . The schedule is quite work friendly with most games being played on the weekends. However, before school starts, there may be a couple of week day games.
In addition, the schedules will all be "front loaded" which means that more games will be played in August and September than in October (with the hope that we will be able to take advantage of better weather).
