Here at The Record, we're always looking to report on the accomplishments of our local athletes. In the summer, however, we need your help.

With literally hundreds of baseball and softball teams in Rensselaer County and beyond, it's impossible for us to keep up-to-date with all of them through the grapevine. So, please report your scores and keep us in touch with any tournaments or trips in which your teams will compete.

Please click here to see our list of requirements and where to submit your news.

We're doing our best to reach out to everyone so as to provide balanced coverage this summer. We get calls every August from a team that just won the World Series in Oregon, but had not reported a single score all summer. It's hard for us to report on something days or weeks after the fact, so report your scores and we'll do our best to get it in the paper the next day and on the web site instantly.

Please keep in touch with us and we'll do our best to ensure your team is covered throughout its Little League and summer seasons. We're not out to cover any one team over the others. Some teams have done great jobs reporting scores in the past and have received our attention because they let us know what was going on. All it takes is a simple phone call, fax or email every night before 10:30 p.m.
