Pretty cool history here in Columbia with Baseball and Softball!

On this day in 1884, Columbia’s baseball team announces a five-game series with the Dauntless Club of Mt. Joy. Two games each will be played in Mt. Joy and on the Stove Works grounds in Columbia, with a fifth scheduled for Lancaster. The two teams are part of a three-way rivalry that includes the Lancaster Ironsides, whose lineup features Jake Goodman, one of the great sluggers of early baseball.

We are excited to be partnering with such an awesome group of players! A team with a dedication from their coaching staff as much as the Inferno have are bound to grow! Let’s get after it! York Inferno BaseballAdam AloisiShawn YoheKatie YoheThe Bat CaveLancasterKeystone Artisan Werks

We are both excited to announce and looking forward to our partnership with The Bat Cave in Columbia, PA!

Not only is this a top-notch facility with every training option you can think of, but the owners and instructors have a huge heart for developing youth athletes!

This is so much more than a batting cage - it's a place to truly grow in both physical and mental conditioning, building character and the love of the game simultaneously.

Not just for this season. Not just because it is something we should do. But, because we want to set these kids up for now and future success in baseball and in life.

See you at the Bat Cave!

The first week of practice for this team is officially in the books! Honestly, it’s hard to put into words what it means to see something you dreamed about actually come to life.

A brand-new team. A blank slate. A group of kids and families who believed enough to show up and see what we could build together.

And they showed up....in big ways! 🙌

The kids worked hard, encouraged each other, and showed SO much potential. There is still plenty to learn and plenty of work ahead, but the talent, heart, and attitude we saw this week gave us a glimpse of what this team can become.

And to the parents—thank you! Thank you for trusting us with your kids, supporting them, and believing in this dream too.

This is only Week 1.

We’re not just building a baseball team. We’re building a family, developing young men, and creating something these boys can be proud to be part of for the long haul.

The dream is no longer just a dream. It’s officially underway. ⚾🔥
