Each team has at least four games left on their 2025 regular season schedule.   

 

THIS IS A FINAL REMINDER,  that players must have played in 50% of your team games to be eligible for playoffs.   

 

If you are a player who is on the edge of having 10 games played, I would suggest you find a way to get to the ballpark over the next few weeks.  

 

All teams are scheduled to play 21 regular season games, the minimum number of games for a player to be eligible for the playoffs is to have played in ten (10) regular season games. 

 

A game played is as simple as an out on defense, pinch run, pinch hit, etc.  It is not difficult to get 10 games played, players simply have to be at the game(s) to "play".  

 

If a player does not make the minimum ten game requirement, not likely a player a team would want to rely on for the playoffs.  In the event a player  will not make the minimum number of games played due to a documented injury, military service or an extreme circumstance, you may submit a waiver request via email and those playoff waivers will be considered on a case by case basis.  Any request has to be supported by documentation of injury, military service or an extreme circumstance.

The American Division All Stars defeated the National Division All Stars 5-3 in the 2025 Central Ohio MABL All Star Game to win the mid summer classic.

After the National All Stars tied the game in the bottom of the 8th inning and with bases loaded the American Division All Stars sent Catcher Ethan Hyme (Blazers) to the mound to keep the game tied and he delivered with a strikeout leaving the bases loaded.  

After an error and a walk in the top half of the 9th put the go ahead run into scoring position with two outs, Josh Evans (Blazers) hit a two run triple to deep center giving the American All Stars a two run lead.  

Hyme returned to the mound and pitched a clean inning by striking out the first two batters and inducing an infield pop-fly for the final out.  

Josh Evans (Blazers) and Ethan Hyme (Blazers) were named ASG co-MVP for their respective performances in the late innings of the annual All Star Game.
