Friday Night Softball Spectacular!


Framingham U14A Team in Championship Game!

6PM  32 High Street, Bellingham, MA

Come watch the best softball of the summer!

 
Our Framingham U14A team completed the summer season in first place.  We ended up tied with two other teams, Hopedale and Uxbridge with identical 8 and 2 records. Tie breaker rules put Framingham in first.

On Wednesday, the team won a spot in the championship game by beating Hopkinton 3 -2 with a walk off home run by Giovanna Ferreira .

They  will play Hopedale, the second place team during the regular season and winner of their game last night over Uxbridge.

Framingham and Hopedale split their two regular season games with Framingham besting Hopedale in the runs against tie breaker by a three run margin.

Friday nights game is expected to be as exciting and nail biting as the previous two contests.

The weather is going to be spectacular and Bellingham Softball has been a wonderful host during past tournaments.

Support the team and have a great Friday night out.

An incident this week has prompted the board to issue this note regarding the policy of no jewelry during games.

This policy is the policy of the softball governing organization, ASA. 
It is also a generally supported policy in most sports.  For example, Framingham United Soccer has this same policy.

The policy is also supported by the various insuring entities.

It is simply a safety related policy meant to protect all participants in the game.

Compliance is unconditional.

This is not a judgement call of the umpires, coaches, or any league official.
 
Failure to comply may affect validity of the players insurance policy from the league.


The policy states that no jewelry may be worn during a game.

The instructions to the umpires are as follows:
The player is to be informed that she must remove her jewelry.
If she does not remove the jewelry, she may not play in that game.

If the player, the players parents and/or the players coach, refuse to remove the jewelry or the player from the game, the umpires are instructed to leave the field and not officiate in the game.

They are also instructed to report the incident to the Chief Umpire who will forward the report to the Disciplinary Committee of the Board of Directors for investigation and action.


Once the umpires leave the field, the game is no longer an official game and the disposition of the game will be determined by the board of directors.

Safety is the highest priority of this league.
It is our goal to provide a safe, fun and instructional environment.

We hope you will join us in this endeavor.

Please don't hesitate to email us at if you have any questions or comments regarding this or any other matter.

Have a great softball day!
