Saturday 5/12 Player-Pitch Games Cancelled

As of yesterday evening, we did not have enough coaches/managers for our two player-pitch games this weekend. Understandable--it's a very busy time of year and Saturday is the last shopping day before Mother's Day. Many responsible fathers want to keep that day clear.

I made the decision to cancel these games with some advance notice in order to give managers time to send word out to their teams before the weekend arrived. If you have not done so already, please inform parents that this week's player-pitch games have been cancelled.

I was reluctant to cancel the games but even more reluctant to send 48 players, their parents, and a couple of umpires out to Dwight and Broadmeadow without the certainty that there would be managers/coaches prepared to lead, organize, and coach.

We have managers for next Saturday's games (May 19). Steve Brunelli and Steve Mortimer have volunteered to manage the game at Broadmeadow. Ken Thress and David Schumacher have volunteered to manage the game at Dwight.

There remain a few vacancies on the sign-up sheet. We need a manager from the Bees, Lugnuts, or Riverdogs on June 2 at Dwight. On June 9, we need a manager from the Mets, Bees, or Riverdogs at Broadmeadow, and a manager from the Lugnuts, Scrappers, and Sand Gnats at Dwight. If you haven't signed up to manage one of these games, please click here to do so.

Thank you all for your great work so far this season! I have heard very positive feedback from parents and players.
