HOFBRAU, QUINCY- The Boston South Shore Softball League released it's schedule for the 2008 season. League managers met last night at the Hofbrau to discuss rules and events for the upcoming season.
The biggest news at the meeting was the announcement that Local 103 has withdrawn from this years competition. Local has been in the league for over 25 years. They will be replaced by a young club based out of Houghs Neck. The team has yet to declair it's name.
Flannagans will return to defend their title and try for an unprecedented 7th straight crown.
Three teams have returned with different sponsorship and will play under new names. The teams are Local 104 (Rags), Yesterdays (Murphys) and S6 (VFW).
Many questions surround the McInnis Carpentry team heading into the new season. The Hammers are returning after another 2nd place regular season showing. The club finished with their lowest win total (14-6) and were swept in the 1st round of the playoffs by the 7th seeded VFW.
Scott Logan will start the season on the DL and his return is listed as doubtful. John Martin has announced retirement, although team officials are still negotiating a supposed 1-year deal. Stephen Yocco's status is questionable as he continues to rehab an ailing back. Mike Aupperlee & John Southern have left via free agency, returning to their former team Murphys (Yesterdays).
John Gray is scheduled for an MRI on a shoulder injury. Team sources have said the injury may be serious.
The Hammers are rumored to be working quietly to bolster their depleted roster. Neal Plant, Rob Cinquergrano, Dan Biagini, Jimmy Dennis, Pat Burke, Sean Munroe, Rich Brill & Mike Shaw have all been linked to the M.C. club in recent weeks.
The Hammers will open their season against Cagney's at LaBreque Field in Houghs Neck on April 24th at 6pm.
