74th Little League Season Opens Tuesday

The Ellwood City Amateur Baseball Federation will open its 74th season on Tuesday.

The Moose hosts Shenango at Freidhoff Field at 6:00 p.m. in the Lawrence County Little League opener.

The Ellwood City Little League, which started in 1950, was the first Little League program in Lawrence, Beaver, Butler and Mercer Counties.

Ellwood City has three teams competing in the 2023 campaign: The Moose, the Lions and the Wolves in the 16-team league. Ellwood City, Neshannock and Laurel each have three entries apiece. Shenango and Union have two teams and Mohawk, New Castle and Wilmington have one entry apiece. The Moose and the Lions have sponsored Little League teams since the inaugural season.

The Ellwood City Little League, for players ages 9-12, is formed by the new Ellwood City Amateur Baseball Program organization. The organization of the Ellwood City Little League is spearheaded by several individuals-many who will become the league’s managers and coaches.

Central Valley defeated Laurel 13-6 last August to win the 71st Ellwood City Little League Tournament Championship.
