35-and-Older Fall season registration begins
The East Carolina Amateur Baseball League is opening registration for the 35-and-Older division fall season. Opening day for the season is Wednesday, July 27.
The ECABL is in the middle of its first season in the 35-and-Older Division. That season, which includes two teams that play Wednesday nights, will conclude in July.
Games in the fall will be at 6:45 p.m., and they will be played Wednesday nights.
The number of players who register will determine the number of teams the fall season will include. The ECABL is expecting enough players for three teams. If that happens, two teams will play each week and one will have a bye week. With three teams, each team will play 10 games. With two teams, each team will play 15 games. The total cost will depend on the number of games, but will be equivalent to about $12 per game.
Registration deadline is June 27. Because of field availability, there will be no more than three teams in the fall season. Once roster capacity for three teams has been reached, registration will end. That means if you wait to register, you may miss out. This is for players who will be 35 or older by July 27. Registration for the 18-and-Older Division fall season will be announced at a later date.

Game casting will start this weekend
We will add a new feature this week, so that players, family members or friends at home can keep track of each game as it is going on. The app that we use to keep score, iScore, comes with game casting ability. This weekend, we will cast the Saturday games, and possibly all three games on Sunday. If a game is not cast live, it will be entered following the game, and players or family members can watch a "replay" of the game later.
This is a new feature, so be patient as we work out the kinks. This Saturday will be the first extended test that we will do, and you are invited to watch us "stick the landing" or "face plant." We're hoping for something in between, and we hope to do better each week.
If you watch through a computer, you will need nothing to view the casting -- it is done through the web browser. If you are using a mobile device, you will have to download a free app to do it. There are game casting links in a few places on the website already. Clicking on the game will show you that the game has not started yet, but if you do that with a mobile device, you should be given information on how to get the app to view the game.
Opening Day set for Sunday
While Major League Baseball is in the midst of a lockout, and Spring Training games have been postponed, the East Carolina Amateur Baseball League will open its 18-and-older division season on Sunday, March 6, with a slate of three games.
The ECABL defending champion Rockies will host the Orioles at 1 p.m. in a rematch of last season's championship game. The Braves will host the Cubs at 4 p.m. and the Red Sox will host the Yankees at 7 p.m.
The ECABL is still registering players for its 35-and-older division. Games for that division are expected to begin April 13.
The wooden-bat, fast-pitch baseball league has been in existence since 2016, providing baseball for players ages 18 and older.
