Hello again everyone, I’m back online, following a wedding weekend in Upstate New York I’m back with some schedule changes to Williamsport district play. Last night’s games were rained out and will be made up tomorrow with South playing at 11 am and North playing at 1 pm with both games being played at the Parkway Little League complex in West Roxbury. The changes are now reflected in the weekly schedule. Also since I was not online yesterday here is a Saturday edition of Raider Friday Trivia. The question is… which field in Newton has hosted each of Wellesley South’s last 2 district 10 championships? Answer in tomorrow’s Little League Recap!
As we hit the home stretch of July 4th week, we have another full evening of Little League summer action so without any further ado let’s see what’s in store!

Just wanted to take a moment to wish all my readers out there a safe and happy July 4th. Thank you as always for your readership and I can’t wait to see what the rest of this summer and beyond has in store!
It’s the start of July 4th week, and that also means it’s time for another edition of Monday Poll! Last week’s poll saw the slim majority of you see less than 10 baseball games in a season. This week’s question is… will the 2017 Boston Red Sox make the playoffs? Comment with your answer.
It’s Independence Day week, and while the week starts off slow in terms of little league action, it more than makes up for it at the end of the week. Plus this coming weekend, Williamsport action starts up which is always fun to watch. That being said here’s a look at what’s on tap.

July is here and it sure does feel like it. Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend and getting ready for the 4th. Now to answer yesterday’s Raider Friday Trivia question. The answer is… 2002 when Wellesley North while still part of district 11 captured both the district and sectional titles before falling in the state final four.
