Congratulations to the Kennebec Sturgeons! Cheers to a great season!
The Kennebec Sturgeons 2026 season has officially come to a close.
This year was a milestone for our program — a franchise‑best 12 wins and a 4th‑place finish out of 18 teams in the Pine Tree League playoff field. The strides we made both on and off the field were the direct result of the people who surround this team.
Thank you to every team in the Pine Tree League for the competition all season long.
Thank you to Jessica Opperman for serving as our team photographer and baserunning coordinator — your talent and commitment elevated us every week.
Thank you to Jonah Smith and Tristian Andrew for delivering professional, in‑depth play‑by‑play all season. The Sturgeon Radio Network produced so many iconic calls because of your work.
Thank you to Jason Ritchie of State Farm — your generous support helped us partner with Bath Middle School to secure much‑needed equipment for Varnum Field.
Thank you to the Bath Recreation Department for keeping Varnum in great shape from Opening Day through the playoffs.
Thank you to the wives, children, grandparents, girlfriends, friends and families who make up the Sturgeon community. Summer in Maine is a special time, and we’re grateful for the sacrifices you make so we can play the game we love.
And to our fans at Varnum Field — your support is unmatched and never goes unnoticed. The energy you bring to that ballpark is part of what makes Sturgeon baseball special.
We’re proud of 2026 — and excited for what comes next.
