History

Baseball was introduced in Lithuania by Lithuanian American pilot Steponas Darius in 1922, after returning from the United States.[2]

The team played in the 2019 European Baseball Championship - B-Pool in early July 2019 in Trnava, Slovakia, winning its group and advancing to the playoffs against Israel in the 2019 Playoff Series at the end of July 2019 for the last qualifying spot for the 2019 European Baseball Championship.

Israel won the first two games in a best-of-three series against Lithuania in Utena.[3]
