Well, the Saugus kids didn't fare so well in the rematch with Boynton Beach, Florida, losing something like 9-2. They couldn't get much started by way of offense, and a couple of late home runs by the Floridians put it out of reach. Still, a nice run for the locals. The Florida team will face the team from Japan for all the marbles this evening.
On a different level of baseball, I got an interesting email from the North Shore Spirit, a Northeast League team that plays in Lynn. They've made the post-season by winning the first half of the season, and as part of touting this they included this verbal bon-bon:
"The entire North Shore Spirit organization is getting ready for the first-ever
Spirit playoffs at the New Fraser Field. Remember to mark your calendars for
September 3rd and 4th at 7p.m. At least you can count on one team in
Massachusetts to be in the playoffs this season!"
Considering they probably couldn't beat the Sarasota Red Sox, never mind actual major league competition, they may want to tone the rhetoric down a notch.
