The 2024 Federation League season will begin Sunday, June 2nd!! 

Rossiter, Brookville, DuBois Rockets, and Sykesville will make up this year's league.

ROSSITER — The Rossiter Miners claimed the Federation League title with a four-game sweep of Sykesville, clinching the best-of-seven series with a 9-5 win on Saturday, Aug. 5, at Shaffer Field.

Anthony Maseto earned the Babe Inzana Memorial Award for the finals MVP, batting .533 (8-for-15) in the finals while earning one win on the mound in game two. He hit a two-run homer in the Miners’ game four win at Reynoldsville to take a 3-0 series lead.

Outfielder-pitcher Daren Byers had a strong overall playoff run as he went 3-0 on the mound with 23 2/3 innings of scoreless pitching after giving up two runs to the Grays in their game one marathon won by the Miners, 3-2, in 18 innings back on July 23. Byers hit .333 for the playoffs overall.

“I was a lot of fun,” Miners manager Ruben Taylor told the Courier-Express of the Miners’ championship run. “It’s a great achievement. I was a part of the 2017 one (title), and I think Pete (meterko) and (Matt) Gourley were too. For everyone else, they never got to experience it. I just really wanted to win for them and the town. You see how everyone shows up and supports the baseball team. It’s awesome and just a lot of fun to able to win for them.”

The Miners finished the season 14-8 overall while the Senators were 16-6.
