SLO MSBL enjoys a beautiful day of Baseball on the Coast
SLO MSBL has been blessed with nice weather as the season has settled into the middle of the schedule.
On Sunday, three games were played at Porter field in Arroyo Grande and a morning game was played at Coast Union in Cambria.
Starting in Cambria, Nicaragua continued their dominance of Los Llanteros, once again putting the pedal to the metal to rack up the score. Los Llanteros continues with the growing pains of a first year team as they fell to Nicaragua 16-4.
Over in AG, the morning started off with the Cachorros hosting the Blacksox. The Blacksox made easy work of the Cachorros, beating them 12-3.
In the middle contest, the Legends and Primos faced off in a battle that went down to the wire. The Primos took a 2-0 lead early. The Legends tagged on a 3 run inning late to take a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the 9th. The Primos tied it up. And on a fly ball to left field the runner at third fiented going home, drawing a throw that got away from the catcher, allowing the runner to score for a walk off 4-3 win.
In the closing game of the day, the Hogs put up an early fight against the undefeated Hops. It was a pitchers duel going into the bottom of the 5th when the Hops got their first hit, then didn’t look back, scoring 5 in that inning. The Hops tacked on 4 more runs in the later innings, not giving up a run of their own until the 9th inning when the Hogs scored 4. The game ended after 9 with a score of 9-4 in favor of the Hops
SLO MSBL mid season team review
As we approach the mid way point of the season, we take a quick look at how each team is fairing in 2025
UPPER DIVISION
ANGELS: Picking up where they left off, the defending League Champions continue their reign of regular season dominance.
BLACKSOX: Though they’ve struggled in a couple of games, the Blacksox continue to show why they make it to the Championship series each year. Will this be the year they finally get passed the Angels?
PRIMOS: The Primos continue to be a solid team. They continue playing solid defense and have a capable offense to keep them competitive each week.
LEGENDS: Though, the Legends have struggled a bit to find their footing after returning the lead, they are starting to show glimpses of the greatness that made them perennial contenders for a decade.
CACHORROS: After a solid season in 2024, the Cachorros have regressed a bit as they try to contend in the Upper Division. Though they have a strong roster, they have yet to put the pieces together in 2025. Hopefully, they can turn it around in the second half.
LOWER DIVISION
HOPS: So far in 2025, the Hops have found their stride as they currently sport an undefeated record. That includes 2 wins against Upper Division opponents. Their diverse roster and team play has carried them through the first half. They are excited to see if they can carry it through the rest of the season
NICARAGUA: Nicaragua has started the season off strong with some blowouts against Lower Division rivals. Only 2 games back in the standings, Nicaragua hopes to keep playing strong and compete for the #1 seed in their division.
HOGS: One of the older teams in the league, the Hogs have struggled over the last couple of seasons. That has continued in 2025. With a lot of new players, they hope to gel to find late season success.
LOS LLANTEROS: First year struggles have been the story of the team as they try to overcome their growing pains. The team has some talented players but will need to start putting some complete games together to start competing. We hope to see that in the second half.

This is real baseball. The league plays on Sundays in San Luis Obispo, or occasionally in Atascadero, Arroyo Grande or Santa Maria. The games are 9 innings or 2.5 hours long. The fields are full sized fields with 90 ft base paths, 60’6″ pitching distance and fences ranging from 295′ to 380’+.
The season typically runs from late March to late August with playoffs following the regular season. Last year, SLO MSBL had 8 teams with players ranging in age from 18 to 72. Don’t think age will get in the way of your ability to play. The only thing stopping you is…you.
Before each season, the league and managers meet to discuss changes, if needed, for the upcoming season. Divisions and local rules are subject to change before the start of each season to make the league more competitive and fun for players.
The league is a modified 30+ age league. There are 2 divisions to create competitive games. Teams can have unlimited players 30 and over and 5 players under 30. The only restriction for the younger players is that they can only pitch a combined 3 innings per team each game.
