NEW ALBANY – As live sports slowly starts to trickle back to life, several Northwest baseball players are making up for lost time by competing in the Cotton States Baseball League this summer.

Founded in 2009 and based at BNA Bank Park in New Albany, the Cotton States Baseball League is a pro-style collegiate wooden bat league for players with college eligibility. The summer league has featured numerous Northwest baseball players through the years.

Pitchers Will Logsdon and Trent Bunting are playing for the North Delta Dealers, alongside utility players Cade Spratlin, Dylan Hale and infielder Peyton Mills. The Golden Triangle Jets feature the likes of Mississippi State commit Brayland Skinner, left-handed pitcher Zach Willingham, outfielder Hammer Franks and infielder Kelton Hall.

Infielder Cade Bell and right-handed pitcher Dillan Fiveash have been chosen to play for the Tallahatchie Rascals, while Joel Wilkinson, right-handed pitcher Alonzo Hunt and outfielder Landon Rogers will suit up for the Tippah Tribe.

Games started on June 5 and will run through early August. For a complete schedule, visit cottonstatesleague.com.
