The star K has this letter on their site so its seems like its Star K approved but the hechsher is not star- K.
Kind of confusing but its like the the Stark K approves of Rabbi Shalom Salfer ( person who signs the certificate) who is the masgiach.

Dear SBL Coaches, Parents, and Players:

Please see the note below that was sent by one of our umpires who has extensive experience in many youth leagues in the region.  As the SBL season has recently concluded, we would like to thank you for your participation and support, and for creating this Kiddush Hashem.  SBL continues to thrive because of you!

Sincerely,

The SBL Front Office


Dear….. I was one of your umpires ,I would like to express on what a honor it was to umpire in your league. It is by far the best baseball league that I have umpired in. Please convey to all the coaches , parents and most of all THE PLAYERS on what a great and joyful opportunity it was for me. In no other league do I receive the respect that you give me.
I have come to know some of the boys and what a great bunch of kids they are, not to mention the fact that you have some great ball players. I have said that if I could pick an all star team from your players . I would love to take them on tour and play other teams and they would not lose.
Sunday games were not just about baseball. The coaches and the parents have done a magnificent job on raising these young men. WELL DONE.

It has been a real privilege for me to interact with everyone.
RESPECTFULLY....Gino S.

I have a wedding coming up in Baltimore, I’d like to stay overnight in a spg/Marriott hotel. Seems like there’s nothing close to the Jewish Community. Is there anything closer than the inner harbor?

There also a Sheraton Inner Harbor for 10,000 SPG Points. It has nice views of the Harbor.  I think the one in Towson might be a drop closer to the Frum Community though. Either way if you need minyanim its hard to know which one is really closer since traffic during rush hour can be crazy.

I would not waste 10K SPG on that hotel. Plus you have to pay for parking. Towson is definitely closer with free parking and a cheaper hotel

I think its a trade off since in Towson there will traffic on both sides of the beltway ( highway that goes around Baltimore) but you can taken York rd to Northern Pkwy as an alternate. 
Then there is the  Inner Harbor one but according to @mochjas the hotel is not worth it but might be easier to get in to town.
