RUG Little League

We are thrilled to announce that our Junior League Baseball team has won the 2026 Washington State Championship! ⚾️ 🏆 🎉

These dedicated young athletes from Queen Anne, RUG, and Ballard Little Leagues just wrapped up the week-long state tournament in Vancouver, WA, and have earned the incredible opportunity to represent our state in the West Region Tournament in Bend, Oregon, which starts on Thursday!

Please help support the Juniors and their families if you can! https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-our-state-champs-journey-to-bend-oregon

Thank you to the RUG Little League family, Washington District 8 Little League, and everyone who helped support Camille Linscheid and her family on their trip to Williamsport, PA, for the Maria Pepe Little League Baseball Legacy Series. ⚾️

Because of your community spirit, RUG Little League raised nearly $2,500 to help cover travel, hotel, and meals for the journey.

We also extend our gratitude to Little League® for hosting this remarkable event and honoring the legacy of Maria Pepe, whose courage opened doors for generations of girls in baseball.

Thank you for showing Camille, and all our players, what is possible with a team behind you. This community continues to prove that baseball is bigger than the game itself.

Last Friday night was one for the books for our RUG Little League softball players. A packed Husky Softball Stadium, an electric atmosphere, and the RUG girls front and center as the Huskies' Team of the Game. 🥎🥎🥎

The girls proudly stood on the field for introductions and lit up the Jumbotron with big smiles. Thank you, Washington Husky Softball, for celebrating our athletes in such a special way.

RUG Little League is taking over UW Husky Softball tonight! 🥎💜💚 The undefeated-at-home Huskies face the UCLA Bruins in a West Coast showdown, and RUG Little League is the official team of the game. First pitch at 7:00 PM!

Our special RUG ticket block is officially SOLD OUT (you all showed up!), but you can still check for regular tickets (not many left) on the UW site or watch the live stream. Let’s bring the noise for the Dawgs!

We’re incredibly proud to share that one of RUG Little League's own, Camille Linscheid, has been selected to participate in the 2026 Maria Pepe Little League Baseball® Legacy Series—a national event that celebrates and elevates girls in baseball.
