All weekend long, June 25 and 26, “Play Ball” could be heard around the diamonds at the Town of Hoosick fields on Waterworks Road.

The League’s Second Annual All Star baseball tournament for the eight and under age group had four teams competing last year and eight this year. The teams hailed from Williamstown, MA, Bennington and Pownal, VT, and Brunswick, Cambridge, Greenwich, Halfmoon and Hoosick Falls.
Defending Champions Bennington won again this year defeating Greenwich in the finals. Halfmoon beat Hoosick Falls in the Consolation game.

Safe on third, this player looks toward the third base coach for his next move in the consolation game between Hoosick Falls and Halfmoon. (Bea Peterson photo)
