July 3, 2025
Bedford, PA - Despite playing with a skeleton crew the first three weeks of the season, the Richland Legion Post 849 56ers kept showing up game and game out knowing that if the entire squad were available, they could be a team to be reckoned with. The 56ers proved themselves right Thursday night as they had 15 players on hand and rallied from a 3-0 deficit to earn their first win of the season 4-3 over the Bedford Hurricanes.

Jarvis also stole two bases and scored the game winning run on a Bedford error in the sixth inning.

Friday July 7, 2023 - The Richland Post 849 56ers rallied from a 9-0 deficit to score seven runs in their final two at bats but just couldn't get past the league champs as they fell to St. Michael 9-7 Friday night. The loss ended a successful 2023 campaign which saw the 56ers field a team of five 19 year olds and a roster of youthful players who succeeded in getting the Richland Post 849 baseball team not only back onto the field, but back into the playoffs. 2023 was the first year the 56ers completed a season since 2019. Jonah Horner was effective on the mound for the 56ers Friday, allowed five runs, just two of which were earned runs. However the bullpen and defense couldn't hold which gave St. Michael an insurmountable lead.
Game 1 was played on Thursday at St. Michel (Forest Hills HS) and revealed a pattern that was ominous for 56ers fans. Starting pitcher Ethan Kaminsky allowed just three earned runs in five innings but the offense couldn't get anything going against the Saints and eventually dropped an 8-0 contest. Despite the playoff losses, the 2023 campaign saw several impressive performances. Cole Strick led the CCAL with a .577 batting average. Ethan Kaminsky was tops in the league with a 0.56 ERA and 25 Ks. Kyler Smith, Ty Stawarz, and Josh Fetchko provided veteran leadership. Newcomers Roman Fetzko and Jonah Horner also form a strong nucleus of returning players for 2024.

The 56ers lack of offense spoiled another fine outing from Cole Strick who allowed three runs in five innings of work, while striking out five. Mike Preuss and Ty Stawarz also threw an inning apiece.
Joe McGowan had a spectacular 56ers' debut last Friday June 10th, as he rapped three doubles and went 5-for-5 against the Somerset Businessman (SBC) in a game that was suspended after 7 innings due to darkness. McGowan was instrumental in the 56ers'
five run bottom of the seventh inning where the hosts tied the score at 12-12 before umpires suspended the game due to darkness. The game will be resumed later this season on a date to be determined when Richland once again matches up with Somerset.
