One of the most competitive leagues in the country, the Missouri Sr Babe Ruth League’s Champion has gone to the World Series each of the last two years. Last year, the Charleston Fighting Squirrels took third after being knocked out in the semi-final round against Cape Cod, Massachusetts in a 1-0 game.

In 2018, the state tournament will be held in Charleston (July 10-14); the Midwest Plains Regionals is in Bismark, North Dakota (July 19-21); and the World Series is being held in Jamestown, New York (Aug 3-12).
