Ogden Youth Baseball Teams Dominating the Cal Ripken & Babe Ruth Tournaments

Ogden City Recreation has seven youth baseball teams who are advancing through their brackets in the Cal Ripken All-Star Tournament. It is anticipated that these great teams from Ogden will be representing our wonderful city very well throughout the entire Cal Ripken Series.

The hits keep coming as Ogden’s teams participating in the Cal Ripken and Babe Ruth Tournaments keep advancing through their brackets. Ogden City is very excited to announce that there are eleven (11) teams from our program participating in these tournaments and all eleven of those teams have qualified for the State Championships in their respective age groups!

The Babe Ruth Tournament is for ages 12 and under and the Cal Ripken Tournament is for ages 13 and older. Teams winning in the State Tournaments will advance on to the Regional Tournaments and then it’s off to the Little League World Series. The Cal Ripken Tournament started one week earlier than the Babe Ruth Tournament; the Cal Ripken League is getting ready to finish their State Tourney while the Babe Ruth League is just getting ready to start their State Tourney.

If the 10U and 12U/70 teams all win their next games, they will be playing against their comrades from the other Ogden teams; it will be a bitter-sweet accomplishment for these teams. Many of these games are being played at Ogden’s 4th Street Ballpark so drop by, grab something from the concessions stand and support our local athletes.

Congratulations to our Ogden teams and good luck! Watch this website for updates on the tournament as the teams advance.
