Battle of the Bases is a military softball tournament, presented by the Washington Nationals, that serves as an extension of the intramural season at each of the military bases in the National Capital Region.
Teams of active duty service members from all six branches, playing across all National Capital Region installations, participated in the tournament. Preliminary rounds of the Battle of the Bases were held to determine which bases would play in the championship game under the lights at Nationals Park following the September 14, 4:05 p.m. game against the Miami Marlins.
The Washington Nationals provide, at no cost to the service branches, a Nationals-branded jersey and cap to each man or woman participating in the base-affiliated intramural softball league. Teams are differentiated through the use of a variety of styles and colors of jerseys and caps.
Through the Nats on Base initiative, the Nationals aim to provide year-round experiences that contribute to the quality of life for service members and their families in the Washington D.C. region, reaching them where they live and work ¨C as well as in-Park. The team works with regional and base leadership to develop programming and identify outreach opportunities at local installations.
The Nationals are proud to offer programming that contributes to the quality of life for service members and their families in the Washington, D.C. region. Discounted tickets for military personnel are available on-base and online.
