From 1956–1962, the Miami Baseball Club played in the South Central Border League (also known as the South Central League and South Eastern Manitoba League). The team often competed against local teams such as Winkler, Altona, Plum Coulee, Carman, Roland, and Morden. The league later expanded to include several teams from the United States, allowing the Miami team to compete against Cavalier, Walhalla, and Neche out of North Dakota. The team was extremely successful in this league, winning the league title in 1956, 1957, 1958, and 1960. They went on to win the play-off championships in each of these years except 1957, when they lost to Carman in the semi-finals.
Miami was also often victorious when they travelled to local tournaments. The Annual Morden Tournament held on July 1st saw them in the finals each year from 1956-1960. In 1957 and 1960 they were able to take home the championship.
