The PONY World Series will return to Washington this summer after being canceled by the pandemic last year.
In another indication that pre-pandemic normalcy is making its return, directors of PONY League baseball unveiled plans Tuesday for the organization’s 69th World Series.
The eight-team double-elimination tournament is set for Aug. 13-18 at Lew Hays PONY Field in Washington, Pa., next door to Washington Wild Things Park. The series was canceled last year due to the covid-19 pandemic. A 10-team tournament was hoped for, but travel restrictions involving teams representing Europe, Mexico and Asia reduced the 2021 tournament field.
