2020 Season Canceled Due to COVID-19

As everyone knows by now, the 2020 regular season of the Madisonville Miners and the entire Ohio Valley Summer Collegiate Baseball League was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While we certainly missed playing baseball in 2020, we understood the seriousness of pandemic. Our organization felt the direct effects, with members of our extended baseball family dying from COVID-19 as the novel coronavirus spread around the country.

As of the date of this writing, over 600,000 lives have been lost in the United States in the pandemic.

We encourage everyone to get vaccinated. For those of you that choose not to do so, we encourage you to wear a mask and continue to social distance to protect yourself and your loved ones.

Be smart and be safe. And we’ll see you at the ballpark soon.

The 2020 regular season Ohio Valley Summer Collegiate Baseball League schedule was released Monday, November 18, 2019. To view the complete Miners schedule for 2020, check the SCHEDULE page on the Menu at the top of the screen.

The regular season will get started on Friday night, May 29, 2020, and wrap up on Tuesday, July 21, 2020. The OVL playoffs will start a few days after the conclusion of the regular season and conclude the first weekend of August.

The 9-team league will continue with the East and West Division format for the 40-game regular season. The East Division will be comprised of Dubois County (Indiana), Franklin, Henderson, Muhlenberg County, and Owensbore. Fulton, Hopkinsville, Madisonville, and Paducah will play in the West Division.

NOTE: Some teams are moving their home game start times from 7 pm local time to 6:30 pm, so be sure to check the start time of the game before heading to the ballpark. And, if you’re making the trip to Dubois County, Indiana, don’t forget that Dubois County is the only team located in the Eastern Time zone (they’re an hour ahead of the rest of us!).
