01/23/12    The Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League announced their 2012
championship season schedule this afternoon.  The newly expanded 9 team league has
each team playing 48 games.  This season the league adopted an unbalanced, one
division format, with the top four teams making the playoffs.  The PGCBL champion will be crowned after winning two rounds of playoffs.  Each playoffse ries will be a best of three
showdown.

    "With the addition of the Oneonta Outlaws to the league we did not want to pass up the chance to create numerous rivalry games.  We pitted Oneonta against Cooperstown and Little Falls against Amsterdam and Glens Falls against Albany as many times as possible.  Fans can easily cheer for their team on the road this year because they play close to home.  The players love the shorter bus rides and it helps keep them fresh throughout the summer."

    “With the Elmira Pioneers leading the league in Friday, Saturday and Sunday home games this year, Nellie and I feel this is a very fan friendly schedule,” stated Don Lewis, co-owner of the Elmira Pioneers. “This is only the begining of many exciting dates to be announced for the summer of 2012 at Dunn Field.”

      The PGCBL is affiliated with Perfect Game USA, the largest independent scouting service in the country.  Last year, more than 250 professional players and 85% of all MLB draft picks, played with PGCBL teams or participated in a Perfect Game USA sponsored event.

01/19/12    PGCBL President Jeff Kunion announced this morning that the Oneonta Outlaws have joined the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League.  The team will be owned by long time baseball operators and current owners, Dan Scaring and Keith Rogers.  The team will play a 48 game schedule beginning in June where it has played the last few years, at Damaschke Field.

"The teams in the PGCBL have worked with Keith and Dan for years.  They watched the development of our league and decided it would be an outstanding fit for their organization.  Geographically, it makes sense, they have a great ballpark that fits in with the rest of the PGCBL and it is always beneficial to add an experienced management team to the group.", remarked Kunion.  "The Outlaws constantly field a quality ball club. They were champions last year in the NYCBL, both on and off the field.  Oneonta is more than ready to step up to the competitive challenges of the PGCBL."

Oneonta Outlaws Co Owner and GM Keith Rogers said, "We are excited at the opportunity to join the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League and partner with a first class organization.  This move is a natural fit for our organization's baseball/business model. We are now in a tremendous league with other established programs with seasoned operators who share the same desire to run their operations much like professional baseball yet capture the essence of the college game".

The Oneonta team joins a group of eight elite collegiate teams in upstate New York.  Five teams play in former New York Penn League stadiums, two in facilities that have had in excess of $1,000,000 in renovations and at Doubleday Field adjacent to the Baseball Hall of Fame.  The league is affiliated with Perfect Game USA, the largest independent baseball scouting service in the United States.
