American Legion baseball begins for Bryant this week

The 2019 baseball season for the Bryant Black Sox American Legion teams begin this week, starting with games against Bauxite for the Sox’ 17-and-under Junior Legion team and the 15-and-under Junior Legion squad tonight at Bryant High School Field. The Senior (19-and-under) Legion season begins when the Sox host Little Rock Post 1 on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Tonight’s 15-and-under game begins at 6 p.m.

The Bryant teams will begin the season playing home games at BHS Field but, with the construction going on at the campus, they may change as the summer goes along if the construction requires electricity and water to be turned off at the park.

The Senior Sox went all the way to the Legion World Series two years ago, finishing fourth in the nation. Last year, they won State and made it to the final of the MidSouth Regional, a game away from returning to the World Series before being knocked off.

They finished the summer 46-11-1.

The teams are made up entirely of players that go to Bryant High School.

Here are the tentative schedules (games may be added, particularly to the junior schedules, and locations may change):
