All eyes are set on Championship Saturday.. at its finest!!

This is why staying point of plate and adjusting with the play with quiet steps is critical instead of moving to the default 3rd base extended for plays at the plate. He’s one of the best in the world at this craft too, anyone wearing that uniform is, with an exception or two 😳

Look at the 3rd base coach btw..

The SWC Conference tournament wrapped up Thursday night with a very well played, back and forth championship game between New Fairfield and Newtown.

Thank you Newtown for playing so well when it mattered most and competing so hard and a big congratulations to those New Fairfield Rebels on your SWC CHIP DUB!!!!

While the players, coaches and teams earn and deserve the spotlight and attention, it’s also important to recognize the dedication of the 2026 conference tournament umpire crews who show up well prepared and stay laser focused, exuding passion and professionalism to safeguard the fairness and integrity of our great sport.

The road to Hunt Field is here!! When the lights are brighter, the weather is usually warmer, the grass is greener, the crack of the bat, the pop of the mitt and the roar of the crowd are all louder……. Where champions are born!!!

We live for this!
