CAROLINA MENS BASEBALL WELCOMES NEW TEAMS FOR FALL BASEBALL

Fall baseball in southeastern North Carolina continues to grow this Autumn. The Carolina Mens Baseball League now has 15 teams playing hardball in Wilmington, Jacksonville and South Brunswick. A recreational, adult,
wood bat baseball league, Carolina Mens Baseball welcomes players of all ages
over 18 and 48 of all skill levels to play baseball in a competitive yet
friendly environment. The League motto is “Forever Baseball, Forever Young.”

Joe Seme, a co-founder of the CMBL, said, “ We are delighted to welcome three new teams into our baseball family. We now have two teams from Camp Lejeune: the Lejeune Storm managed by Gunnery Sgt. Ed Ewing and the
Jacksonville Shady Bears, a new entry to the CMBL, managed by Lance Cpl. Andrew
Bauman. After serving our country in Afghanistan and Iraq, these young men
truly appreciate the joy of playing baseball and we are thrilled to provide
this wholesome outlet for them.”

The League also welcomed the Yosake Giants, managed by Steve Gaconnier, whose players decided the forego flag football this Fall for the opportunity to recapture the thrill of playing baseball. The Wilmington Fire Dept has also
joined the fray with a team called the Pride and managed by Mark Meylor. In
addition to these new teams, the twelve teams that played through the Spring
and Summer all returned to chase the Wilmington Red Sox and the Miller Lites to
wrest away their Regular Season Championships in the League’s two Divisions,
respectively.

Opening Day is September 12 and games continue each Sunday through October, with playoffs in November. Check the action at www.Carolinamensbaseball.com.
See you on the Diamond!
