WELCOME TO BARNSTABLE POST 206 BASEBALL...

TONIGHT's GAME Vs. Sandwich Post 188 HAS BEEN POSTPONED to Tuesday, July 7 at McKeon Field in Hyannis at 7:00 p.m. Post 206 received an amazing game Sunday night at Middleboro High School from Kyle Mahoney who went 6 2/3 innings and struck out five for the win. Henry Mullen got the save, while Zach Sullivan battled the flu to go 2-3 with a double and triple and Gagi Stamenkovic went 1-2 with three RBI and a triple. Post 206 Baseball wants to thank the Cotuit Kettleers, Hyannis Mets, Pizza Wave and American Legion for its generous support thus far this season. Post # 206 first baseman Zach Sullivan crushed a solo homer last night at Lowell Park as Barnstable almost pulled off an upset versus Brockton Post 35 but the wheels came off for Post 206 in the seventh frame.

For a relatively short period, historically, Barnstable Legion baseball virtually disappeared from the local scene before being re-established in 1997. Barnstable American Legion baseball has a long, proud traition of fielding some of the best 15- to 19-year-old baseball players from the town of Barnstable and beyond. Each summer, Barnstable Legion faces the best high school-aged competition in the region.     The upcoming 2008 season promises positive change as well as adherence to the tenets and patriotic tradition that American Legion baseball has stood for, for nearly 100 years.    We hope you will join in supporting the best high school-aged amateur baseball players Barnstable has to offer.

The American Legion Mission... The purpose and scope of American Legion Baseball is to inculcate in our American youth a better understanding of the American way of life and to promote 100% Americanism.  To instill in out Nation's Youth a sincere desire to develop within themselves a feeling of citizenship, sportsmanship, loyalty and team spirit.  To aid in the improvement and development of the physical fitness of our country's youth, and to build for the Nation's future through our youth.

Post 206 Stages Phenomenal Comeback But Not Enough Vs. Brockton Post 35
June 13 - Down 10-8 with runners on second and third base in the bottom of the sixth inning, Post 206 watched as the wheels came off in the seventh frame with four straight infield errors to see the deficit climb to 16-8. Brothers Zach and Will Sullivan accounted for four hits and four RBI on the night.

Post 206 Swallows Tough Loss at Hands of Whitman
June 10 - Barnstable banged out more hits than its opponent once again -- the third consecutive game in three tries -- but it was not enough as Post 206 fell to host Whitman Post 22, 7-5. Everett Walsh got tagged for the complete-game loss, striking out three and walking just two.

    Alex Pernick went 2-4 with an RBI, as did Zach Sullivan, while Sullivan's little brother went 2-3 with a triple. Walsh went 2-4 at the plate and both Nik and Mike Atsalis each went 1-4 with an RBI.
