A crazy game for the U8 kids at Fairhaven Acushnet Youth Baseball on Monday, 6/17/24, ended in a win for Freetown. The team was down 11-4 in the fifth, but managed to battle back and win in extra innings. The running RBI was from Daniel Freire, whose proud grandma, Mary Freire Kellogg, sent pictures.
“Both teams were exceptional,” stated Ms. Kellogg.
Both teams are headed to the states in a couple of weeks.
