American Legion Baseball Brackets Announced

The brackets for the eight-team, double-elimination American Legion Baseball State Tournament have been announced.



The first pitch of the tournament is Friday at Barre Town Recreation Field. Defending champ and Northern Divison top seed Addison County takes on Bellows Falls Post 37, the number four seed in the Southern Division. That game starts at 9 a.m.
Rutland takes on Essex at noon and Bennington faces Colchester at four p.m. The late evening game has the OEC Kings taking on either Fair Haven or Chester at seven p.m.
The Rutland Herald says the tournament runs for five days and a champ will be crowned Vermont's rep to the Northeast Regional Tournament in Manchester New Hampshire.
