congratulations to Nashua and Bedford for making the legion playoffs. Nashua had to win 5 games in 5 days to take first place. Salem finished tied with Bedford for second at 11-4. By some tie breaking procedure that quite frankly I don't think anyone can truly explain Bedford edges Salem. Head to head they split, Salem division record 8-2 Bedford 6-4. Because Bedford beat other division teams that made playoffs and we split they go. I don't blame Bedford coaches or players they deserve what they got, and as I stated Nashua just plain nutted up when they had to. This was a great year for Salem baseball and I congratulate them all on a fantastic high school and legion season. I would also like to throw some praise on Dan Kelleher and John Ryan who have succeeded in changing the baseball climate in Salem at all levels. See you all in the fall when this will start up all over again.
