St. Michael won the 2024 Cambria Legion Championship with a 6-1 win over top seed Bedford Monday night.  The Saints won their third straight title and will now advance to the Region 7 Tournament which begins next week in Claysburg, PA.  In a twist of events, the Best-of-three format was shortened to one game after one of the Central Penn League's Regional qualifying teams was disqualified for not playing 12 regular season games.  Therefore, the Cambria League was awarded a second bid which meant both participants in the championship round received a berth to the Region 7 Tournament. 

Bedford and St. Michael swept their way through the semifinals to earn their spot in the 2024 Cambria County Legion Championship Series.  Bedford edged Hollidaysburg #2 by a 7-4 score, while St. Michael mercied Nanty Glo 18-4 Friday July 12th.  The Championship Series will begin Monday July 15th at top seeded Bedford.  The winner of the best-of-three series will earn a berth in the Region 7 Tournament next week in Claysburg, PA. 

Top seeds Bedford and St. Michael posted Game 1 wins Thursday in Cambria Legion Playoff action.  Bedford downed Hollidaysburg #2 6-3, while St. Michael topped Nanty Glo 8-5.  Game 2 in each Best-of-three series will take place at the lower seeded teams fields.   Game 3 in each series will take place Saturday July 13, if necessary, back at the top seed.

The Cambria County American Legion League Playoffs will begin Thursday July 11, 2024 with a pair of best of three semifinal series on the slate.  Top Seeded Bedford will host fourth seed Hollidaysburg 2 in one matchup while second seed St. Michael will face third seed Nanty Glo.  All playoff games will be played on consecutive days until a winner is determined.  Winners of each of these series will meet in a best of three format to determine the league representative at the Region 7 Tournament in Claysburg, PA next week.  Unlike years past, the Cambria County Legion League will only send one playoff representative to the Region 7 Tournament.  Host team Claysburg will also be in the Region 7 bracket, but is not included in the playoffs due to their host status.

The 2024 Cambria County American Legion Baseball season is now in full swing.  Eight teams will vie for a berth in the Western Pa American Legion Baseball Region 7 Tournament in July.   This year's teams are defending league and playoff champion St. Michael, Bedford, Claysburg, Hollidaysburg#1 Nanty Glo, Richland, and newcomers Ebensburg and Hollidaysburg#2.
