Each season, the 9U division holds the Jesse Caron Tournament mid-season. The 2023 tournament will take place from Sunday, May 7 to Saturday, May 13.

About Jesse Caron: The Caron family was heavily involved in baseball along with their two sons, Cody and Jesse. Unfortunately, we lost Jesse to a tragic accident shortly after high school. The family sponsored this tournament in Jesse’s name to promote sportsmanship and a love of the game that was so important to their family.

Tournament information:

• 2 game Round Robin will result in seeding

Round Robin Rules:

• Each team will be given two points for a win, one point for a tie and 0 points for a loss.
• Maximum run differential will be +7/-7 runs in each game
• In the event of a two way tie the following rules will be applied:
  • Best Plus/Minus record
  • Head to Head if applicable
  • Runs Against*: The team with the lowest runs against during round robin play
  • Runs For*: The team with the highest amount of runs scored during round robin play
  • Coin Toss
• Three/Four-way ties will follow the same format as outlined in Rule 29.01. this format will be followed until a winner is declared.

* Runs for and against will be based per innings played. Eg. if your team had 10 runs against in 7 innings, it would be average of 1.4 runs per inning. If the team you are tied with has 10 runs against but in 5 innings, it would be 2 runs per inning average, and your team would win the tie breaker.
