Greenfield’s Legion Baseball Season Kicks Off with a Tough Loss

Greenfield may have been buzzing with excitement as the Post 81 Senior American Legion team kicked off its season, but alas, the day didn’t quite go as planned. The boys hit the road to take on Pittsfield Post 68 at Clapp Park, where hope was in the air along with a few nervous butterflies. What followed was a tense game that many would describe as a pitchers’ duel.

Pittsfield managed to scrape together 2 runs, scoring one in the third inning and another in the sixth inning. Greenfield, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm and couldn’t get on the scoreboard, leading to a hard-fought 2-0 loss. Hugh Cyhowski was on the mound for Greenfield and certainly put in a strong performance, pitching all six innings and striking out an impressive five batters while allowing only three hits.

While the scoreboard may not have favored Greenfield, the team did manage to rack up four hits during the match. Ben Caron stood out with a double, while teammates Sam Connors, Braeden Tsipenyuk, and Shawn Baumann each contributed with singles. Even though it wasn’t the start they had hoped for, there’s always room to regroup and come back stronger in the next game!

Exciting Youth Soccer Clinics Coming This August

On a brighter note, sports enthusiasts in Greenfield can look forward to some amazing opportunities just around the corner! The Greenfield boys and girls high school soccer teams are hosting youth soccer clinics from August 4-8. These clinics are planned to run daily from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Greenfield High School varsity field.

Whether your child is new to the sport or already has some experience under their belt, these clinics are open to all boys and girls aged 6-13 from Franklin County, regardless of skill level. Coaches will cover everything from passing, dribbling, and defending to tactics, body shape, goalie work, and even finishing techniques. This is a fantastic chance for young athletes to improve their game!

For those planning to attend, the cost for the full week of clinics is $100, and there will even be a scheduled lunch break. Lunch options will be available for order through Greenfield Public Schools Food Services, but you’ll want to make sure you register in advance to secure your spot!

If you’re interested in signing up, you can get in touch with the Greenfield boys varsity coach via email or phone. But remember, the registration deadline is coming up fast on July 20!

Get Ready for Fall Soccer with Greenfield United

As summer rolls on, there’s even more to keep kids active! Greenfield United is on the lookout for young soccer players to join their fall season. Registration is open for boys and girls aged 7-14, not just from Greenfield but also from surrounding towns. Just a heads up – a waiver is needed for any players who aren’t living or attending school in Greenfield.

New this season, the club will be introducing beginner clinics tailored for kids aged 5-7 who want to learn the basic fundamentals of soccer in a low-stress environment. This is a golden opportunity for little ones to discover what they love about the game!

For those aspiring to coach, Greenfield United could use more dedicated volunteers. Two coaches are needed for each age group to run a team, and if you feel like you’re up for the challenge, reach out for more information.

To register for the fall season, just visit the Greenfield United website. Make sure to act quickly as the registration deadline is July 14! If you have any questions about registration, Coach Leaper is available to help.
