Huntington Hounds Baseball

Founded in 1998 by Tim & Jon Adkins, The Huntington Hounds’ focus is to provide area youth the opportunity to develop their competitive skills and to promote amateur baseball in the Tri-State Area.

The Huntington Hounds are sponsored by Tri-State Baseball Association, Inc.,(TSBA).
