Opening Day is in the Books
Rain threatened to wash away Opening Day for the SLO MSBL. A slightly wet couple of days prompted the city of SLO to close Sinsheimer. Two of the games scheduled for there were moved to AG.
In all, we were able to get three out of four games completed at Porter Field. The Angels vs Blacksox game will be rescheduled at a later date.
Hops vs Hogs
The first game of the day featured the Hogs hosting the Hops. Wet conditions made for a muddy first game. But that didn’t stop the Hops’ bats from drowning the Hogs in hits and runs. by the end of the game, the Hops had splashed across the plate 15 times to come out with a 15-5 victory.
Nicaragua vs Cachorros
The middle contest saw the leagues two new teams face off to start there seasons. It was a close competition featuring a lot of small ball. In the end, the Cachorros held on to a 4-3 lead to win their SLO MSBL premier.
Primos vs Outlaws
The evening cap pitted the Primos against the Outlaws. Though the game started off close with both teams getting 1-2-3 first innings, the Primos took advantage of Outlaw errors to plate 7 runs. The Outlaws didn’t find their bats until late in the game, too little too late. The Primos started their 2024 campaign with a 7-2 win.

The league will take a break for the Easter weekend next week. But games will resume the following Sunday, April 7.

About SLO MSBL
The SLO MSBL is the only amateur adult baseball league serving San Luis Obispo County. It is an affiliated league of the National Men’s Senior Baseball League and is open to all adults 18 years and older.
This is real baseball. The league plays on Sundays in San Luis Obispo, or occasionally in Atascadero, Arroyo Grande or Santa Maria. The games are 9 innings or 2.5 hours long. The fields are full sized fields with 90 ft base paths, 60’6″ pitching distance and fences ranging from 295′ to 380’+.
The season typically runs from early April to early September with playoffs following the regular season. Last year, SLO MSBL had 8 teams with players ranging in age from 18 to 72. Don’t think age will get in the way of your ability to play. The only thing stopping you is…you.
Before each season, the league and managers meet to discuss changes, if needed, for the upcoming season. Divisions and local rules are subject to change before the start of each season to make the league more competitive and fun for players.
Last year, the league ran with a single modified 30+ division. Teams could have unlimited players 30 and over and 5 players under 30. The only restriction for the younger players was that they could only pitch a combined 3 innings per team each game.
2024 will follow the same rules format as last year.
