The Butler County Area Baseball League — which replaced the Butler County American Legion League when that circuit decided to cut ties with Legion baseball — will not be playing this summer. The BCABL or BCAL had been the home for high school-age summer baseball in the county for decades.

“This is disappointing, for sure,” said Matt Baic, vice president of the BCABL. “I’ve been involved in this league for six years. It was a great league, very competitive. We awarded scholarships to players, did a lot of good things.

“But, in a way, you could see this coming.”
