History

The Lawrence Township Junior Baseball Softball Association (LTJBSA) was established in 1963 in partnership with the Lawrence Township Recreation Department in Lawrence Township, New Jersey. The organization oversees Lawrence Little League Baseball & Softball, Lawrence Babe Ruth League Baseball, and Lawrence Competitive Baseball & Softball programs, serving 500+ ballplayers annually from Lawrence, Ewing, and Hopewell Township. Key milestones include adding a dedicated softball program in 1972 (one of the first in Mercer County following Title IX), installing the first lights at Lawrence Central Park in 1993 (raising over $100,000), and converting a Public Works garage into community batting cages in 1999 (raising approximately $350,000). The league has a storied championship heritage dating to 1955, with numerous NJ District 12 titles in baseball, softball, Babe Ruth, and competitive travel programs. In 2026, the LTJBSA funded a $60,000 expansion of three fields for 50/70 baseball and doubled softball capacity at Carroll Field.
