Legion Baseball State Brackets Released: Twins Open Friday Against South

Author: Coach Dan Gensel |

The brackets are set for the 2019 Alaska American Legion Baseball State Tournament scheduled for July 26 through July 31 at Mulcahy Stadium in Anchorage.

 

The Post 20 Twins, the top team from the American Conference, earn a #4 seed into the tournament based on points earned in the regular season.

 

The Twins open tournament play at the 67th Alaska Legion State Tournament on Friday, July 26th with a first round pairing against the #5 seed South Anchorage Post 4.  The Twins defeated South in the regular season finale on Sunday 4-2, which pushed the Twins into first place in the American Conference (and into the #4 seed).

 

State Tournament Opening Day Schedule:  Double elimination bracket

10:00 a.m.  Game 1:  #3 Chugiak vs #6 Palmer

12:30   Game 2: #4 Kenai Post 20 vs #5 South

3:15 p.m.  Game 3  #2 Juneau vs #7 West

6:15 p.m.  Game 4:  #1 Wasilla vs #8 Dimond

 

Tournament Seeding: based on regular season

#1 Wasilla  16-2

#2 Juneau  15-3

#3 Chugiak  14-4

#4 Kenai  13-5

#5 South  13-5

#6 Palmer  12-6

#7  West  11-7

In 2018, the Alaska Legion State Tournament was marred before the tournament began with three teams deemed ineligible for the state competition.  Wasilla, Ketchikan and Palmer all failed to meet the May 31 deadline to provide proof of insurance as required by both the state and national American Legion offices.  As a result, Kodiak (7-11) was awarded the #8 seed with a below .500 record.  Juneau won the 2018 Alaska Legion State Championship and advanced to win a game at the Northwest Regional.
