My Southborough reader Joann has been following the progress of the Southborough District 11 baseball team this summer, and sent in this update about the team’s impressive 11-1 season, which so far includes two tournament championships.
Congratulations to the Southborough District 11 Team who have now won two straight summer tournaments and are currently 11-1 in games played.
For the Easton Tournament, Southborough played five games and were undefeated entering the finals where they played a tough championship game against fierce competitor Rayhnam, beating them in the sixth inning, 4 – 2. Noteworthy is the fact that in this tournament the boys outscored their opponents 53 – 15 over the five game run.
Regarding the Mansfield Summer Classic Tournament, this was the Southboro 11’s first time playing in this highly competitive event that featured some of the best teams from eastern and southern Massachusetts. Their championship drive included big wins this past Sunday in the semi-finals against last year’s winner Wellesley 7-0, and an equally impressive 7-1 championship game victory against Medfield.
The focus now turns to District play and an always tough Milford tournament. Congrats to the boys and good luck with your next two tournaments.
The Milford tournament begins tonight and runs through Monday. District play is ongoing, with the next game on Thursday against Grafton at 7:30 pm at Ferry Street Field in South Grafton.
You can follow the boys’ progress, and that of our other town teams, on the Southboro Baseball Facebook page.
