ALUMNI 2008 SUMMER SOFTBALL ENDS ON A LOW NOTE, TEAMS LOOKS TO RE-LOAD FOR 2008 FALL SEASON

The 2008 Alumni Summer Softball teams, the weeknight squad and the Sunday squad, both saw their seasons end last week. The weeknight team limped to a 6-6 finish and were left out of the postseason due to a complicated tiebreaker for the final playoff spot. It marks the first time that this squad failed to reach the postseason. The Sunday squad fared better in the regular season with an impressive 9-3 record, but fell in the first round of the playoffs in heart-breaking fashion.

INTERESTED IN PLAYING RECREATIONAL SPORTS WITH MICHIGAN ALUMS?

The University of Michigan Club of Greater Boston (UMCGB) organizes a number of sports for Boston-area Michigan alums of any and all talent levels. In Fall 2006, alums played on a Big Ten softball team organized by the UMCGB. The Club is currently organizing the team for play in Summer 2007. Currently, Michigan alums can participate in pick-up basketball on Sundays in Somerville. Additionally, an indoor soccer team is being organized for play in March 2007.

If you'd like to sign-up for a sport, please email Matt Englander at mkenglander at gmail.com.

Interested in a sport that the club doesn't currently offer? If there's a recreational sport you'd like to play, chances are that there is a league in the Boston-area offering it. Whether that's volleyball, flag football, dodge ball, etc., email Matt Englander at the above mentioned email and we'll try to put a team together.
