The Youth Nationals Baseball Tournament is held each year for ages 9U (nine years or younger) on through 14U. This tournament is set up for the travel ball players. If you are unfamiliar with travel ball, the player’s family pays to have the kids play in these tournaments. These players will travel within their state and to neighboring states to play baseball. 

The West coast and East coast tournaments for these age groups are set up in divisions to keep the teams competitively organized. Reno hosted the tournaments at Golden Eagle Sports Park in Sparks from June 13-19.  

Over the course of seven days, teams played at least six games each. The tournament began June 13, and teams were ceded according to their win or loss accumulation. The elimination games began on Wednesday with the tournament championship decided on Thursday, June 19. (results of the championship game were not available at press time) 

Ten teams are entered in the tournament and travel from Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Wyoming with a total of 82 teams, all bringing players from ages 9-14 years old. Fallon Hornets 13U, will be one of the teams representing Nevada.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
