ANNOUNCING DONUTS & DINGERS - Featuring the HIT-A-THON!
Get ready for the 2026 LYB Hit-A-Thon, our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year! Our goal is to rally the community to raise $30,000 to directly support the operations that make our baseball season possible from the ground up.
We're celebrating this massive effort with a "Donuts and Dingers" event on May 16. This high-energy morning will be a community celebration for our Tee Ball, Coach Pitch, and AA teams, complete with special guest Dillon T Pickle. See below for separate dates for AAA and Majors players.
