We cheered on the Nashua Silver Knights as they defeated the Worchester Bravehearts in a 2-0 win. This was a fun way to spend a warm late summer evening. (Our seats were directly behind home plate which explains the "netting" seen in these photos. These were taken with a cell phone.)
The Nashua team won the championship series, two games to none. This win marked the second consecutive year the Silver Knights won the Futures Collegiate Baseball League playoffs. The Silver Knights have never had a losing season and qualified for the post-season every year. It's the fourth time in 7 years that the team has taken the trophy.
The FCBL is a 9-team collegiate summer baseball league in New England with six franchises in Massachusetts, two in New Hampshire, and one in Connecticut. The FCBL plays a 56-game schedule (28 home/28 away). It's a wood bat league and ballplayers are unpaid collegiate athletes who join the league to gain experience and exposure to Major League baseball scouts. Each year, top players will be scouted and selected in the MLB draft.
What fun did you have this weekend?

Looks like fun. I tried to find a new Conservation Park but somehow we missed the turn off even with a GPS. So we went to another park we had been to before on the way home. We walked and took photographs.
I like the photos with the netting in them best and also your phone did a super job, or you did a super job with the phone. looks like a fun evening.
Yay!!!!!!!
Lovely photos!
There's a minor league team here, but I've never gone to a game.
Looks like GREAT fun to me!
Good luck with scoring some of those t shirts next year! :-)
Congrats for the fun time.
This is the best kind of summer event!
I have never seen a baseball game, don't even know if one has ever taken place where I live. I have heard that whole families go to your games, how great is that?
Haven't been to a ball game for a long time, but there's something special about them.
Looks like fun. Hurray for the home team!
