The people of the Port Chester Youth Baseball League will host a fall version of their successful Battle at the Border on Oct. 3 and 4. The tournament, called the 2009 Elite Eight edition of the Battle at the Border, will include many of the top teams from the tri-state area and other portions of New England.
To check a list of the teams included log on here. You can find a complete schedule of games here.
All games will be held at either Rec Park or Port Chester Middle School, both of which are in Port Chester.

If you missed it Tuesday, I wrote a story about the CHSAA’s fall baseball league, which has existed for more than three decades and remains a key developmental league for the spring baseball season. You can read the story here.
There are examples of players who benefitted from playing fall baseball. I also found it interesting that coaches use the fall as an extended tryout. In actuality, their teams (right or wrong) are mostly picked by the time the fall is over.
The Catholics have a major advantage here in: A) building their programs, B) readying young players for varsity action, and C) putting the right players on the team, and playing them in the right positions.
Do you agree? I believe what the coaches said to be true. The weather in the spring is brutal, and you don’t get an adequate representation of a player’s ability during spring tryouts.
Do any public-school programs have fall workouts/scrimmages?
