2 very close games dominate the first weekend of Old Timer's Senior
League baseball...The Over-55 League started out their 5th season with 2
closely played contests on a beautiful spring Saturday morning. At
Shrum field in Derry, in the battle of the funeral homes, Hartman Graziano
jumped out to a 3-1 lead and held on for a 3-2 victory over McCabe's. In
New Derry , at John's field, Bacha Coroner jumped out to a 5-1 lead after 5
innings, but couldn't hold on, as Legion erupted for 6 runs in the 5th inning,
to steal their first victory 7-5. It appears that both games went down to
the wire, as either losing team could have won their game with a bit more timely hitting. After the first week of baseball, it appears that the draft committee did a great job this year in setting up the rosters. Hope you all enjoyed your first game. There were no reported injuries this
weekend, and good luck to everyone the rest of the year.
