  • 2026 Season Underway!
    After all the offseason trades and Cutdown Day decisions were made, the BDBL got their 2026 season underway with the Farm Draft. North Carolina had the first pick and chose Kayson Cunningham, recently released from the Cleveland Rocks.
  • Labs crowned Best in Show!
    After splitting the opening two games in Lake Norman, the Labradors absolutely dominated the road games, outscoring the Peaks 16-1 across all three games in Flagstaff, to take their second title in franchise history and first for current owner Joe Demski.
    The title caps quite a run for Demski, marking their third straight Wilkie title since moving their in the 2023 season, their second Eck League crown overall and first BDBL Title. Congrats to the Labs on such a fine run.
  • World Series Set
    The Lake Norman Labradors will take on the Flagstaff Peaks in the 2025 BDBL Fall Classic. The Labs, led by Elly De La Cruz (right), dispatched the 107-win Kansas Law Dogs in six games while the Jackson Merrill-led (left) Peaks vanquished the Darien Blue Wave in seven games.
  • Top Seeds in Eck Advance
    Lake Norman and Kansas each easily dispatch their respective opponents to advance to face each other in the ELCS. The Law Dog/Soverigns series saw two 1-0 pitching gems in Games 2 and 3 before Kansas would score 29 runs over the final two games to end it. Meanwhile, Lake Norman absolutely contained the vaunted Charlotte offense, allowing a paltry .687 OPS allowed.
    Seiya Suxuzi (left) paced the Labs by going 8-for-20 with a pair of homers, four doubles, nine RBI and seven runs scored.
