With just over a week before the Chatham-Kent Barnstormers kick off their inaugural season, local baseball fans now have a new way to follow their hometown team.

The Intercounty Baseball League has launched a mobile app to allow fans to follow league news, live game broadcasts, scores, and statistics.

Officials say the IBL App also provides a streamlined experience for purchasing tickets and official team merchandise, alongside real-time updates on league happenings.

“The IBL set several attendance records last season and our fanbase is growing at rapid pace. Delivering a high-quality mobile App that will enhance our fans’ ability to follow their favourite teams was a major priority for 2024 and we are thrilled with the result”, said IBL Commissioner, Ted Kalnins.

The 2024 season begins Sunday, May 12th with Toronto home against London. The Barnstormers will be kicking off their season on the road in Brantford on Friday, May 17th, with the app allowing fans an easy portal to keep tabs on away games.

The IBL App is now available for iOS on the Apple App Store and soon to be available on the Google Play Store for Android devices.
