The Buccaneer co-ed softball team is off to a great start for the 2014 season with a 2-0 record. Okay – so that first win was because the other team had to forfeit, but we won last night’s game handily 29-18 so it was like 2 games in one! Now Heasley Field is hosting an All-Star tournament, so we don’t have another game until July 20th. Of course we will be having regular team meetings at the Buc to keep in shape! I’ll send out our game schedule in a couple weeks so you can come and show your support! PLAY BALL!
