The Greg Moynahan Memorial Committee would like to thank everyone who came out in support of the Homerun Derby. It was a great day that took a lot of hard work from a lot of people including the Scituate 14 year old District team helping to set up food and drink at the High School then breaking everything down at the end of the day. They worked hard all day to keep everything moving.
At Greenbush Field the fathers and coaches help pitch while the kids enjoyed an endless supply of Double Bubble. Jack Huggins impressively won the 9 and 10 year old age group and Ryan Gunther dominated in the 11 and 12 year old age group.
At Scituate High School, burger, hot dogs, sausages, popcorn and drink were consumed in ample supply and enjoyed by everyone. Friend of Greg, their parents, and High School kids looking for community service hours all worked through the heat to make this event possible.
On the Varsity Field in the 17+ age group five people went into the finals. Matt Stewart took the victory hitting an impressive 24 homeruns.
The Greg Moynahan Memorial Committee would like to thank everyone who made this day possible: The Holly Family, The Hayden Family, PJ's Country House, The Satuit Bowlaway, Harbour House of Pizza, Boston Sword and Tuna, Levin Family Dentistry, Riva's, Belsan's Bait and Tackle, A-Script Career & Writing Services, Widows Walk, Scituate Country Club, Christina and Greg Cook, Jim Simpson, Kevin Dooley, Abby Kazlousky, Brian Greenberg, The Boston Red Sox, Maria's Pizza, Jack and Maureen Gill, JL Murphy, Bruce Beagley, Nancy Collins, Scituate 14A District Baseball Team, The Scituate Little League and all the parents and players who came out in support.
Scituate Little League Field Improvements
| |
 | |
In a continuing effort to provide the best playing environment for all the members of the Scituate Little League community, the league has been working in the off-season to improve and maintain the conditions of the Little League fields.
Since last summer the league hired contractors to rework the infield at Greenbush and top dressed the St. Mary’s field. Because of the drought last fall, not all the desired steps were able to be accomplished, but you will see an improvement at both sites.
In addition, we will be using improved infield mix at Cudworth and Hatherly/Purple Dinosaur to avoid excessive weeds in the base paths. We will continue to assess advances and needed improvements in these fields as the Spring rolls around. The league is continuing to evaluate, recommend and make improvements in all the fields for the players and will continue to do so during the current year. Volunteers are always helpful as much of maintenance of the fields is an on-going process.
Scituate Little League voted to renew contracting a Field Coordinator, who has been responsible for keeping the fields in “best of class” condition.

SCITUATE LITTLE LEAGUE NOVEMBER BOARD MEETING
The next Scituate Little League Board of Directors meeting will be held on Thursday, November 19th at 7:30 PM at the Little Red Schoolhouse.
There will be a 15 minute “Open Forum” at the start of the meeting for any member of the Scituate Little League community (member, player, parent, coach, etc.) to ask questions or raise issues to the Board of Directors. We will make every attempt to address questions/issues at the meeting. If further investigation is needed, the question or issue will be addressed at the next board meeting.
Thank you.
2010 Little League Rule Changes
| |
 | |
Below is a synopsis of the significant changes to the regular season playing rules and regulations for 2010 in the divisions noted. Also included are modifications to the 2010 Tournament Rules and Guidelines, as well as additions regarding safety and other points of note.
The exact wording of the Rules and Regulations noted will be provided in the coming weeks. It is expected that rule books will be available soon as well.
(Note: Unless noted otherwise, these changes apply to all divisions)
REGULATIONS:
Regulation I (c) 8 - Note 1: Added a sentence stating that if a league elects to operate a Tee Ball baseball program only, it must use the league age determination date that is noted in the regulation. (Baseball only.)
Regulation IV (a) - Junior League: Added language making it clear that when a 12-year-old player is found to be ineligible under this regulation, that player and/or his/her team are subject to removal from the International Tournament by action of the Tournament Committee.
Regulation VI - Note 4: Added language making it clear that a resumed game or contest decided by forfeit does not constitute a "game" for the purpose of this regulation, unless one completed inning was played before the game ended or the game was forfeited.
Regulation XIV (e): Added language making it clear that alcohol is prohibited at the game site.
PLAYING RULES:
Rule 1.10: Added language making it clear that any bat that has been altered must be removed from play.
Rule 1.11 (h): Added language making it acceptable for Junior, Senior and Big League players to wear metal spikes or cleats. (Added for softball only. This rule already applies to these divisions in baseball.)
Rule 1.11 (k): Added language making it clear that casts may not be worn by players and umpires during the game, and that persons wearing casts, including managers and coaches, must remain in the dugout during the game.
Rule 1.14: Standardized the limits on the size of fielders' gloves.
Rule 2.00 Definition of Pitch: Added language making it clear that a balk or illegal pitch, whether or not a pitch is actually delivered to a batter, counts as a pitch in determining the pitch count for that pitcher. (Baseball only.)
Rule 3.03 - No. 6: Added language making it clear defensive substitutions must be made while the team is on defense, and offensive substitutions must be made at the time the offensive player has her/his turn at bat or is on base. (Also added to Rule 3.03 for Big League.)
Rule 5.07, Minor League: Added language providing that the five-run rule may be suspended in the last half inning for either team, by option of the local league.
TOURNAMENT RULES AND GUIDELINES:
Responsibility and Chain of Command: Added language making it clear that the Tournament Committee may impose penalties it deems appropriate, or may take action to correct a situation, regardless of the source of information.
Conditions of Tournament Play - Protests - C. Use of an ineligible player: Added language making it clear that any violation of Regulations may result in a team having an ineligible player.
SAFETY:
Appendix A: Added Lightning Safety Guidelines.
Appendix D: Added Bat Modifications and Alterations Policy.
NOTES:
Various Regulations, Regular Season Rules, and Tournament Rules: The deadline for submitting forms that deal with Tournament Eligibility - i.e., regular season player roster forms, Regulation II (d) and Regulation IV (h) forms, waiver requests, chartering, fee payments, combined teams and interleague play forms, etc. - is June 8, 2010.
Adults and Minors in Positions of Authority: Changes were made to Rule 2.00, Rule 4.1, Rule 9.01, Rule 9.03, Rule 9.04, and the Tournament Rules and Guidelines, making it clear that Minors may serve as coach or umpire under specific and limited circumstances as noted in each rule. (Summary: A coach who is 16 or 17 may only serve as a coach if the adult manager and another adult coach are appointed. A person who is not an adult (no age limit) may serve in a game as an umpire, including as plate umpire, provided one or more other adults are also umpires for that game. However, that non-adult umpire cannot be designated as umpire-in-chief for that game. The umpire-in-chief is not required to be the plate umpire.)
