The Erie Sports Commission is proud to support North East PA Little League’s 2025 summer tournament series, which consists of three tournaments. The series is anticipated to generate half a million dollars in economic impact.
The Pat Papale Memorial Tournament, set for June 21-22, will feature 8U and 13U teams, followed by the Jesse Triana Memorial Tournament on July 12-13, showcasing 9U and 10U teams.
All tournament games will be held at the Denny Lowes Complex in North East, which features six fields and one batting cage.
“North East PA Little League has done an exceptional job attracting teams to its tournaments,” said Mark Jeanneret, executive director of the Erie Sports Commission, “and we are excited to lend our support to assist in the growth of baseball and softball in North East.”
North East PA Little League hosted its first tournament of the year, Mother’s Day Madness, on May 10 and 11. The event included 32 teams from Pennsylvania and New York, resulting in more than $180,000 in estimated economic impact.
“The tournament was a huge success, and teams are already asking about registration for 2026,” said Mike Strickland, Vice President of North East PA Little League. “We’re looking forward to welcoming even more teams throughout the rest of the summer.”
