About UMaine Club Baseball

The UMaine Club Baseball Team participates in two leagues, The ACBA in the spring and NECBA in the fall. Our program started small and had a hard time competing, but has expanded into a well-established team with 3 consecutive winning seasons where we have made the playoffs. The involvement in two leagues allow for a great variety of teams ranging all the way to Connecticut and Vermont. We are a very competitive group when it comes to games, but we also like to have fun. Our games are played on the weekends as double headers and we practice 2-3 times a week. The spring season has 8-12 games and the fall has 10-16 games.
