Dixie Youth Baseball cancels World Series tournaments

Posted

For the 1st time in 64 years, there will be no Dixie Youth Baseball World Series champion.

Monday night, the National Board of Directors voted to cancel the 2020 Dixie Youth Baseball World Series tournaments.

“With all of the uncertainty and disruption that the Covid-19 virus has caused across our country we did not feel that attempting to play a world series would be the prudent thing to do,” Commissioner William Wade said in a statement. “The health and well-being of all of the participants, parents and fans outweigh the value of World Series play. Hopefully, by removing the Dixie Youth Baseball World Series from our post-season schedule, the states and leagues that are cleared to begin activities can have substantial regular season play, which is the foundation of Dixie Youth Baseball”.

The Midland team out of Pine Ridge has won a World Series tournament title in 3 of the past 4 seasons. 

This past year saw the Cayce-West Columbia Dixie Youth Ozone Baseball team won the state tournament and advanced to the World Series in Rushton, La.
