WASHINGTON, PA (July 21, 2026) — Bay County, MI, will represent PONY Baseball’s North Zone in the 2026 Printscape PONY League World Series. Bay County returns once again as a familiar presence on the international stage, continuing a tradition that has become a source of pride throughout their community.

Bay County enters the tournament as a familiar face in Washington, PA, as the Michigan program now makes their 14th consecutive appearance and 19th overall appearance. “The World Series means a great deal to our program,” said head coach Craig Revette. “It’s something our community rallies around, and it’s created lifelong memories for so many players and families over the years. We never take that opportunity for granted.”

On the field, Bay County’s versatility and team chemistry stand out as major strengths. The roster’s ability to adapt defensively, combined with strong relationships among players and coaches, has helped create a cohesive and confident group. “Our guys know each other well and play well together,” Revette added. “That chemistry and flexibility give us a lot of options and confidence going into games.”

Beyond competition, the experience itself remains a central focus. Bay County looks forward to not only testing its abilities against top international talent, but also embracing the unique opportunity the World Series provides. “This is more than just baseball,” Revette said. “It’s a chance for our players to experience different cultures and see how the game is played around the world. That’s something they’ll carry with them long after the tournament ends.”

Bay County will open play in the 2026 Printscape PONY World Series against Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, at 7:30 PM/ET on Friday, August 7, at Historic Lew Hays PONY Field in Washington, PA.
