Welcome to Oak City Softball League
FALL 2024 SEASON IS UNDERWAY!
Our league’s Fall season is off and running as of August 25th, which was a beautiful North Carolina late summer day in the capital city! Two of our three divisions (Competitive and Rec+) kicked things off in Oak City Softball League style, meaning smiling faces, laughter, and good times. Our Women’s+ Division started up on September 8th (all divisions had a break for Labor Day Weekend) and we loved welcoming our returning and new W+ players as we did with our other two divisions on opening day.
We got the majority of scheduled games in on September 15, but unfortunately the afternoon games were rained out; these will be made up (details coming soon). September 22 is a planned off week for the league – we’ll be back in action on September 29th!
Please scroll down to see results on the leaderboards for all 3 divisions.
*8/25/24 was a prearranged bye date for Bullies, Disfunctionalz, and Misfits

OAK CITY SOFTBALL LEAGUE’S COMPETITIVE DIVISION SPRING 2024 LEAGUE TOURNAMENT RESULTS
Congratulations go out to the two Competitive Division teams that fought their way through both a championship game and an “if” game to settle 1st and 2nd place in our two-Sunday double-elimination league tourney: Only Fans – also regular season champions – and Sunday Swingers (both pictured below)! Two sweaty 7-inning games determined the champions on June 30th – all teams in the division gave what they had, and had an awesome Spring season. We’re looking forward to seeing our Oak City Softball League family back in action in August – we’ll have registration open shortly for Fall 2024 season!
OAK CITY SOFTBALL LEAGUE’S REC+ DIVISION SPRING 2024 LEAGUE TOURNAMENT RESULTS
Congratulations to the 1st and 2nd place winners of our Rec+ Division’s two-weekend Spring 2024 league double-elimination tournament – Woofs (darker blue shirts) and Basic Pitches (lighter blue shirts), respectively (pictured below)! A championship game, then an “if” championship game determined the winner, and both games were played on a steamy Sunday (June 30th). Basic Pitches also took home a season champ trophy for a perfect 14-0 regular season record. All teams in the division had a great season, and we can’t wait to see everyone again in August for Fall season (registration opens very soon)!
OAK CITY SOFTBALL LEAGUE WOMEN’S+ DIVISION SPRING 2024 LEAGUE TOURNAMENT RESULTS
Congratulations to Rainbow Oreos, champions of our Women’s+ Division Spring 2024 league tournament, with GOATS (also regular season champs) tied for 2nd place in the tournament! All three teams in our W+ division tournament played amazing games and left it all on the field. We can’t wait to see everyone in August to do it all again!
iPRIDE SOFTBALL/ASANA AND OUR LEAGUE
Spring 2024 will be our third season as Raleigh’s only member city organization of iPride Softball, and our fifth season as Raleigh’s exclusive member city affliliation of ASANA – Amateur Sports Alliance of North America. We are so excited about our membership in both organizations, and we are very much looking forward to our second national tournament encompassing both iPride and ASANA players – more information will be coming during the first weeks of our season!
A friendly reminder: Our league is intended to provide a welcoming, respectful environment for LGBTQIA+ (and allied) players and teams; our rules of play and code of conduct are posted on this website to provide the proper expectations to everyone affiliated with our league. Both of these items have been the subject of careful review by our leadership team and we believe they set us apart in a positive way in our quest to create a fun environment for our players — we’ve worked hard to put together what we think will be a great experience for everyone!
We use USA Softball Approved Bats Exclusively
We adhere to the use of USA Softball (formerly ASA) approved bats, exclusively. Bats need to have an ASA or USA Softball stamp, and not be on the USA Softball Non-Approved list (this PDF is dated 10-5-2021) in order to be used in Oak City Softball League games. What this means, other than bats not appearing on the ban list, is that any bats in league play MUST have an ASA/USA Softball stamp regardless of other organizations appearing on a bat (USSSA or NSA bats without an ASA/USA stamp are not allowed). Please see league staff if there are questions and we will clarify for you. If you would like to do further research, the updated list is kept on USA Softball’s website; additional explanation of terms, organizations, and stamps can be found in this blog post.
