Midcoast Baseball concluded a successful season of fall and summer baseball. Friday night baseball in Boothbay under the lights was a big success while all state COVID-19 protocols were followed to ensure a safe and positive experience.

 

John Splaine, the League Vice President for the Coastal Babe Ruth Program, said: “It’s a pleasure to watch our young teenage boys and girls participate in the great American game of baseball. Adhering to COVID regulations, the games and practices (were) running smoothly. The kids (were) having fun, honing their skills and getting outdoors for some exercise and fresh air.”

 

A combined Lincoln County Babe Ruth Team composed of players predominately from Wiscasset, Alna, Boothbay and Damariscotta have been playing teams from Bath, Brunswick and Augusta. 

 

Chris Main, a coach for the Lincoln Babe Ruth Team said, “The 2020 Babe Ruth season was about giving a great group of kids who love baseball an opportunity to play.  It wouldn’t have happened without a few generous sponsors and a lot of effort from a handful of dedicated people, especially Patrick at the helm of our coaching staff.” 

 

Patrick Sanborn from Alna and Head Coach for Lincoln Babe Ruth Team said, “We established a stable pattern of two games a week and travel to away games. It was a great success working with families, young players and coaches.” The other coaches for Lincoln Babe Ruth team are Jason Putnam, Chris Main and Aaron Donaghy. They manage nineteen players. The team was primarily sponsored by Tobin Farms Velvet Antler in Alna. 

 

The Coastal Babe Ruth Team wants to thank Boothbay Region Schools, Wiscasset Middle High School, Wiscasset Parks and Recreation and families for supporting youth baseball in the region. For more information, please visit Coastal Babe Ruth Baseball at www.wiscassetrec.com
