Step up to the plate and enjoy one of the big hits this summer! The 9th Annual MudHen Beach Baseball Tournament returns to the Wildwoods’ beaches for two exciting back-to-back weekends, Friday August 9 through Sunday, August 11 and Friday, August 16 through Sunday, August 18.
Presented by MudHen Events and partnered with Morey’s Piers, the MudHen Beach Baseball Tournament transforms the beach at Rio Grande Avenue, right behind the Wildwoods sign, into a baseball fan’s delight with four fields set for youth players to “play ball.”
The tournament is for youth baseball teams 9U-15U. Registration is now closed, but spectators are encouraged to watch for free from the beach or Boardwalk. A Home Run Derby will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. both Friday nights of the tournaments. Tournament times each weekend are Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with championships on Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Sunshine, an ocean breeze, and the crack of bats hitting baseballs into a sandy outfield – it’s tough to find a better combination than that. America’s favorite pastime is often seen played on the beach throughout the summer, although where most use a plastic bat and wiffle ball, MudHen Beach Baseball brings the real deal to the Wildwoods’ white-sand beaches.
These annual youth baseball tournaments offer entertainment for all ages and families. The unique beach element makes it more difficult to field ground balls and to catch fly balls, making the game more challenging and exciting to both watch and play.
