Baseball season on the local level took its final swing during the 2019 campaign with the Warner-Ipswich-Northwestern Legion baseball team attending their state tournament this past weekend hosted by Groton. The W.I.N. team also includes some players from the Roscoe area, so our entire area is well represented.
Unfortunately W.I.N was defeated in both of its outings played under the double-elimination format. The W.I.N aggregate lost their Friday's opener 7-1 to the eventual champion Claremont/Britton, which eventually edged the host team Groton to claim the 2019 title. The W.I.N. players then took on Lennox on Saturday and were narrowly eliminated 3-2 in a well-played game.
So it's now footballs and volleyballs instead of baseballs and the sounds of runners' feet replacing the crack of baseball bats connecting with their target.
Yes, time does fly especially when you are having fun, as the old saying goes. And good luck to the area teams in their quest for state playoff berths
