Renegades Announce 2017 Game and Practice Schedule!

It’s that time of year again!  The Boston Renegades start their 16th year of play in the National Beep Ball Association.  We enter the year ranked 2nd in the World after shocking the league finishing the season 13-2 with the only two losses coming to the Champion, Indy Thunder.  In fact, in the past two seasons, the Renegades are 26-4.  It should be an excting season as Boston expects to play its most games since the 2010 season.

June 3:  Lincroft, New Jersey at  Christian Brothers Academy High School located at 850 Newman Springs Road (route 520)

Boston travels to Lincroft for the second time in team history.  In 2015, Boston swept three games there defeating Long Island, the New Jersey Lightning and the PA Wofpack.  Games will begin around 9:00 am and last through roughly 4:30.  There will be six teams in attendance but we will only play three of those teams.  There will be a Random draw in May of who we will play.  Below is a look at how we have fared against the opponents who are in attendance

Team Boston Wins Boston Losses

NJ Titans 1 0
Philly Fire 22 4
Rochester Pioneers 0 0

June 10-11:  Bolingbrok, Illinois at  Bolingbrook Recreation and Aquatic Center located at 200 Lindsey Lane Bolingbrook, IL

Boston Returns to Chicago for the first time since 2013.  Outside of the World Series, this is the biggest event in the league.  Eight teams will be competing over 2 days.  Each team is guaranteed to play four games each.  Three games on Saturday and one game on Sunday. This will be the Renegades 9th trip to Chicago.  The team has not fared well here in the past with a 10-22 record overall.  However, most of these games were played when the Renegades were a newer, inexperienced team.  Will things be different?  We will find out in May who our opponents are. You can be sure these teams will be looking to put a target on our back.  In 2016, Boston walked off twice on Colorado and beat Chicago for the first time in history.   The Indy Thunder also faced us twice in 2016 beating us to win the national championship  Below is a look at our 7 possible opponents and our lifetime record against them with their 2016 National Ranking

This will be the biggest beep baseball tournament in the history of New England.  Never before has there been 6 teams converged in New England to battle it out for the Beast of the East trophy.  This event will be a continuation of the games played in Lincroft, in early June.  The format is to play the two games against opponents whom we did not play in New Jersey.  This will give every team 5 games.  From there the top seed will face off against the two seed.  Three will play four. Five will play six.  Last year, we had five teams competing but this season, we added the Rochester Pioneers to the mix.  Below shows how these teams fared in Beast of the East competition and the World Series last year.
