Take me out to the ball game

Softball season opens next week and we had our first practice of the year. It was the best attended practice we've had in 23 years. We took some swings and then played a simulated game. It is hard to tell but things look pretty good for a turn around from the last two seasons sub .500 performance.

Chip Chaffee, Jake Shanks, Chris Vaillancourt, Eric and Dave Poore and Sean Wilding were all on hand yesterday. Jay Mandeville, Dan Dutrumble and Daryl Alves wer also back in action as well. We also welcomed newcomers Tony Daugherty, Brian Bachman, Kyle Branson and Matt Smith.

We have several others who expressed interest but could not make yesterday's practice. They include Ken Kreger, Brian Goldin, Chris Adams, Jeff Brockway, Fred Stone, George Rezendes, Mike and Matthew Staron, Mike Young and Ann Kesckes.

We have one more practice scheduled for next Sunday afternoon at 4:00 p.m. at Kelly Middle School. The season begins next week. Hopefully we will have a roster and schedule out by the end of the week.

Here are a few photos from yesterday afternoon.
