All games are cancelled tonight Monday April 27th due to poor field conditions.

I will wait and see if things improve for tomorrow.

To kick-off the 2026 season we will be bringing back the One-Pitch Tournament.

When: April 27th and April 28th from 6pm to 10pm

Where: Eureka Lower Lake Park

What:  A One-Pitch tournament is just that, a softball game with only 1 pitch per batter. You pitch to your own team!

Format:
Tournament format, with a minimum of 3 games guaranteed for each team.  All initial match-ups have been randomly generated.  The format will move quickly – your team will need to be ready to get in and out of the dugouts. 

A few important details:
1. You pitch to your own team
2. You get 1 pitch
3. There are NO walks
4. Games will be 30 minutes long.  No new inning should begin after 25 minutes of play.  Tie breaker rules apply (last out starting on second with 1 out).
5. Innings will be played as normal. – Remember the game has a 30 minute time limit.

Congratulations to the 2025 Eureka United Christian Softball League Champions, Crosspoint!!

Also congratulations to United for their 2nd place finish!

Crosspoint, with a 5-11 season record and seeded 7th, shocked the league and won the Eureka United Christian Softball tournament by defeating United in the championship game, proving anything is possible.

It was a great season with a lot of close games and win/loss records!

A huge thanks to all of the teams, players and coaches this past season.  Without you we wouldn’t have a league to play in and the opportunity for some great Christian fellowship.

Thanks for making the 2025 season a success and I look forward to a great 2026 Season.

May God bless you all this off season.

A few things to note:
All plays at home are a force out – fielders play home plate, runners play the mat, collisions must be avoided, a runner being called out due to non-compliance will be strictly judged by the umpire.

There is absolutely NO Sliding into home plate, any slide into home will be ruled an automatic out.

Runners must do everything possible to get out of the way of a play after they have been forced out at any base.  Runners can slide, duck, dodge, any best effort to avoid being in the way of the fielder throwing a ball.  If a runner does not make an attempt to get out of the way, the player that the fielder is attempting to throw out will also be called out. This rule is strictly enforced at the umpire’s discretion.

Courtesy Runners for a batter must be communicated with the umpires and the opposing manager before the start of EACH game or at the time of an in-game injury. The team’s last out will be designated as the courtesy runner. The courtesy runner must start behind a line drawn behind home plate, this line will be determined by the umpire. The runner cannot leave until the ball is stuck by the bat. This will be at the discretion of the umpire. A courtesy runner leaving early will automatically be called out.

Good Luck to ALL Teams!!!!!!

Congratulations to United, the 2025 Regular Season Champions!
