In the past 11 years, it has hosted more than 50 baseball games, and the professional league of Xujiadai Village, Lindai Town, Pinghu City, has always been fixed at "zero". On October 0, when the opening order of the Xujiadai Village Baseball Stadium to host a professional league event for the first time sounded, this "No. 1 Chinese Baseball Village" waved a historic stick.

12Little League World Little League China Pinghu City Finals kicked off at Xujiadai Village Baseball Stadium on the same day, and 0 teams from Shanghai and Jiaxing launched a duel in the U0 and U0 groups on the green field, drizzling rain and enthusiasm.

　　從五十餘場到第一場，從“賽事管家”到“主辦方”，林埭的底氣從何而來？

Why host your own tournament?

　　“放在4年前我們肯定不敢，現在我們敢自辦大賽了，這是五十餘場‘實戰’餵出來的膽氣。”林埭鎮文旅辦主任顧佳磊說，自己也稱得上辦賽的“行家裡手”了。

　　去年夏天千人全國賽像一場“大考”，團隊人員齊上陣，從交通疏導到食宿安排，啃下了這塊“硬骨頭”，一舉帶來近3000萬元的營收。這場硬仗，讓林埭悟出一個道理——要辦賽，要多多辦賽。

If you want to take the "initiative", forming a cross-regional baseball league is the best choice.

"After so many years of playing baseball, my opponents have become friends." Gu Jialei said that last year, Lin Daiyi appealed, and the teams of other cities gave positive feedback, and the progress of forming the alliance was steadily advancing.

　　今年3月，依託全球最大的青少年體育聯盟“世界少棒聯盟”全球體系，由林埭鎮領銜組建的浙江星辰少棒聯盟正式成立，招攬了長三角147名“棒球小將”，第一場自辦賽也如期而至。

"Holding a competition is like inviting guests to dinner, coaxing people to come, and you always have to serve a few hard dishes." In addition to the baseball game, Gu Jialei was also busy carrying out the Nine Colorful Wild Rice Creative Competition yesterday.

On the other side of the baseball stadium, the Pinghu Weekend Four Seasons Wild Rice 2025 "Spring Nine Colors, Township Youlindai" cultural tourism consumption season activities were opened simultaneously. The aroma of wild rice at the event site was overflowing, forming a unique scenery where sports events and cultural tourism activities are blended.

　　如今的棒球樂園早已脫胎換骨，這也成為棒球賽事的最強“配套硬體”。去年10月，棒球樂園運營方整合園區業態，轟趴民宿亮起星星燈，八大碗餐廳團餐不斷，春日文旅消費季更讓這裡成了“網紅打卡地”。

"As the saying goes, 'the mountain eats the mountain,' and we are 'relying on baseball to eat baseball.'" Ping Huafeng, the operation manager of the baseball park, told reporters that the current baseball park has a stable visitor flow of about 3000 people every weekend, and the number of people has doubled during the season, and there is an endless stream of tourists who come to visit.

Why host your own tournament?

"This league is not just a fight, it's a precious way for kids to ascend." Gu Jialei said while showing the six-level competition system of the "World Little League League" that the league competition adopts a promotion system, and excellent teams can play all the way to the world, and good seedlings can also enter the professional team, and they will also have the opportunity to study overseas.

　　經過激烈角逐，林埭中心小學隊（U12組）摘得本次城市總決賽桂冠，順利拿到5月全國總決賽的入場券，向著亞洲總決賽進發。

Playing games, pulling teams, and understanding the "basic actions" of the baseball industry, Lin Dai began to plan a "home run".

Last autumn, Xujiadai Village and Shanghai professional clubs "married" to establish Pinghu Racing Sports and Culture Development Co., Ltd., which kneaded youth training, competitions and promotion into an industrial chain.

"Baseball can't always go around in the professional circle, if you want more people to 'play' baseball, you have to go to places with a lot of people." Mo Yun, a member of the Party Committee of Lindai Town, introduced that Lindai is promoting baseball training into the city's commercial body, attracting potential enthusiasts by lowering the experience threshold, and then diverting it to professional venues to achieve normalized operation.

The professional team raises the base, the people raise the industry, and Lin Dai has played a game of chess in the baseball industry. "We are now grasping the channel of 'baseball' self-organized games, walking on multiple legs, and developing in all directions." Mo Yun looked at the adult stadium under construction and was full of confidence, "We have a venue, a team, and now we have opponents and partners, and there will be more and more games in the future." When the new venue is ready, we will also fight for the right to host the Asian finals in 2026 years. ”

From hosting games to self-organized games, from arenas to amusement parks, Lindai continues to open up new tracks in the baseball industry, expand the road of market-oriented operation, further start the rural economy, and move towards a new stage of "China's first baseball village".
