'Boys of summer' playing plenty of baseball

Local baseball teams are as numerous as they can be in a small community like B-B-E. We've got numerous teams for kids age third grade up through college age...and of course amateur ball for the young and young at heart.

Players on the B-B-E 5th/6th grade traveling team gather in the dug out after their game last Saturday morning in Elrosa during the 2nd annual Saints Wood Bats tournament.

I would be hard-pressed to think of a better place for kids to be in the summer than on a baseball or softball diamond.

If you are looking for some plans on Saturday, make tracks to Elrosa to watch the Saints play Raymond and St. Mathias in amateur baseball action. They play Raymond at noon, with the second game to follow at about 2:30pm.
