The annual District 18 Little League tournaments will begin this Thursday.

The brackets for both baseball and softball were set Sunday at a league meeting, held at the Jim Thorpe American Legion.

The tournaments will feature a different look as realignment took place since last year’s play.

Former District 18 teams from the Greater Hazleton area have been relocated to District 16. Teams from the Pocono area, which were in the District 29 (now dissolved), will participate in District 18.

Franklin Township is the two-time 11-12 baseball champions and will be looking to earn a three-peat.

One other change from previous years is that there will be no 10-11 tournament.

District champions in each division will advance to sectional play.

Below is the schedule for all of the baseball and softball tournaments.
