EMASS Shows Strong at Mass Senior Games

EMASS was very well represented in Springfield at the 3^rd annual Mass Senior Games Tournament (held August 8-10). Overall our teams were 11-7-1 and brought home TWO CHAMPIONSHIPS - and countless smiles!

Our EMASS 65s (managed by Dave Toner, Steve Poole, and Bob Vincent) survived a rough Saturday but pounded out hits all over the field on Sunday to win their semi-final and Championship games each by 1 run.

Our EMASS 70s (managed by Larry Fegan, Tom Regan, and Mike Carroll) outclassed everyone in their division with stellar defense and timely hitting, blowing out teams in the Semi-finals and the Finals.

Our EMASS 75s (managed by Art Priver and Tom Hall) went undefeated on Saturday, and won their Semi-final on Sunday before losing by one run in the Championship game.

Our EMASS 60s (managed by Steve Elkinson and Steve Bober) scored 73 runs in 4 games, but somehow lost 3 of them to teams with monster hitters.

                  EMASS Supports 5^th Annual Norm Harrison Tournament

On February 5, 25 EMASS players (two teams) traveled to the New Hampshire Sportsdome in Goffstown for the 5^th Annual Norm Harrison Memorial Indoor Tournament. Norm was a long-time EMASS pitcher and friend who passed away unexpectedly several years ago. In his honor, a group of Norm’s EMASS friends organized to play a tournament along with Norm’s New Hampshire softball friends. Each year since then, the players in the tournament have made a contribution to Norm’s favorite charity, a summer camp for children of Wounded Warriors. Great fun way to make a positive difference!
