A note from Bill Rapp

Greetings Coaches, parents and players. Welcome to the new CD 2027 baseball tournament website. I think a review of how we got here is important.

Since 2022 the St. Bernadette ball fields have been rebuilt into a home for Defenders baseball: new infields, enclosed dugouts, fencing, bullpens, security cameras and more, over $100,000 of improvements. For 2027 the tournaments are hosted and directed by Bill Rapp, with batting cages and 5-6 tons of new field conditioner coming to the best-kept dirt fields in the tri-state.
