The 96th Season of the ITL kicked off yesterday with the defending champion Hamilton Generals picking up a win (5-0) at a tough venue. The Rockport Townies always make the visitors work at Evans Field, the fans and the backdrop add to that challenge. Across Cape Ann the Rowley Rams saw their opening day double header against the Beverly Giants postponed due to unsafe field conditions - the rain had left its mark at Cooney. The games will be rescheduled. As is tradition, the Ipswich Chiefs will open their season on Memorial Day at Bialek Park in Ipswich against the Manchester/Essex Mariners. The young Chiefs are looking to build up their program with another year under their belt while facing off against last season's runner-up - a tough task ahead.
Good luck and welcome back to another season of ITL Baseball!
