Northwestern Penn clubs back in bigger junior league
Northwestern Penn will expand its junior baseball circuit by eight clubs this season, with Albion and Erie as likely additions. The age limit rises to 19, boosting player caliber and community participation as Vern Group leads the effort with plans for early practice and scouting. Masters Open in Augusta draws elite golfers led by Ben Hogan, Snead, Rees, Ward, and Keiser, with Nelson returning from retirement as top contender. Weather and river conditions hint at a strong season for New York state tournament trails and local matchups across Chautauqua and Potraugh counties.
