This season we will kick off our new online presence, with the goal of building a website that provides everything you need from schedules, scores, and standings to downloadable forms and online registration!

Fall Ball is upon us…

Registration is scheduled for Saturday, the 15^th from 9 to 11am at CF. Season will start week after Labor day. All Managers or coaches will be there Saturday morning to accept registrations.

1.       As Fall Ball is considered developmental, it is the objective to have players play up to the next division – ie – a 10 year old player this past season will play for the 11-12 year old team in Fall Ball. Managers reserve the right to assign players to other teams in the event one of the rosters is in need.

2.       The 6-7’s are a new group. If sufficient players register, this age group will play Saturday a.m’s in Charlton, while the older divisions will play locally and travel to neighboring towns.

3.       Registration costs will be confirmed once teams and schedules are set. Parents will not be paying fees at registration. Once costs are determined, fee’s will be paid directly to managers. Fee’s will be based on covering costs only – baseballs, t-shirts and umpires. The fee will not be more than $35. per player for the Fall Ball season.

4.       Any player that was not on a 2009 CLL Roster will need to fill out CLL Registration Form and submit a copy of birth certificate.

5.       Please inform managers if Fall Ball will be your child’s primary or secondary fall sport. It will help in formulating rosters to know how many players from each age group will be available weekly.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHARLTON AAA ALLSTARS  

ON BEHALF OF MY COACHES, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED THE TEAM DURING THIS TOURNAMENT. SEEING SUCH A LARGE TURNOUT LAST NIGHT WAS A GREAT SIGHT. 

THE BOYS WORKED VERY HARD FOR OVER A MONTH, AND NOW CAN REAP THE BENEFITS OF IT. I BELIEVE THAT WE COACHES DID EVERYTHING WE COULD DO TO MAKE THEM BETTER BALL PLAYERS EVEN THOUGH SOME TIMES IT MAY HAVE SEEMED THAT WE WERE A LITTLE WOUND UP. 

I TOLD THE BOYS AT ONE PRACTICE THAT THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF BASEBALL PLAYERS: THOSE WHO MAKE IT HAPPEN, THOSE WHO WATCH IT HAPPEN AND THOSE WHO WONDER WHAT HAPPEND. WE ALL KNOW NOW THAT THESE BOYS MAKE IT HAPPEN. 

I HOPE THAT THE BOYS WILL TREASURE THIS ALLSTAR CHAMPIONSHIP FOREVER, AS WE ALL KNOW THE OPPORTUNITY DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY. THANKS TO THE LEAGUE FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY TO REPRESENT THE TOWN OF CHARLTON. 

HAVE A GREAT SUMMER 

COACH MORIN

15 Year Old Senior League All Stars

The 15 year olds finished 4th in the Seniro League division, losing to Shrewsbury in the semi-finals.  The team began by beating Shrewsbury in the first game, losing to Millbury, and then thumping Southbridge.   

11/12 Year Old Major League All Stars 

 The talented 12/11 year old Major League All Star team lost two thrilling District games against two strong opponents.  In the first game, Webster got out to a strong lead with their dominant ace pitcher until the bottom of the 6th inning. Charlton began a strong comeback, scoring 3 runs, and threatening for more with runners at 2nd and 3rd and no outs.  Then, Webster's reliever proceeded to record 3 straight strikeouts to end it.  In the second game, Charlton hosted a strong Oxford team.  Our 12/11 year olds got out to a 4-0 lead.  Oxford began chipping away, tying the score and loading the bases in the bottom of the 6th.  Their next batter hit his first home run ever, a walk-off game-winning grand slam to end it, a moment he will never forget.   

Our Charlton 12/11 year olds did a great job representing Charlton and Charlton baseball.  They continue with the Connie Mack Tournament in Sturbridge at Burgess Elementary School Fields, with two games each on Sat. July 25, beginning at 8am and 10:30am, and Sun. July 26, at 3:30pm and 6pm.  Please come out to support the boys during the tournament.  Thanks very much!         

11 Year Old Major League All Stars

The 11 year olds finished their seeding round with a 9-0 win over Southbridge last night giving them a 5-1 record in the seeding round.  Our only loss was by one run to Sturbridge, the general consensus amongst the parents is that it was poor coaching that led to that one loss.  This now makes us the #3 seed overall as we move on to Millbury for the single elimination round. 

We will be playing Sunday 7/19 in Millbury at 10:00 at the Washington St. field in Millbury. 

Please be at the field by 9:00

The progression of games will be as follows:
Win Sunday and we will play Tues, 7/21 at 5:30.
Win Tuesday and we will play Thursday 7/23 at 7:45.
Win Thursday and we will play for the District Championship on Saturday 7/25 at 2:00.
All games are at the Washington St Field in Millbury.

Directions:
Take Rte 20 East to Rte 146 South, to the West Main St Millbury exit. 
Take a right on West Main then left on Washington St to the fields.

10 Year Olds 

The 10 YO ALLSTARS went 6 and 2 in prelim play and will be the 4th seed overall out of 17 teams.  The 2 losses were by 3 runs combined and the bats weren't working too well in either.  We have not yet received final word but it looks like we will paly on Friday, July 17th at 5:30 p.m. in OXFORD against 13th seed Northboro.

AAA

CHARLTON is in the finals Monday July 20 at 7 in oxford the field that all the finals are at near the fire station. We went 4-0 in the opening round. Beat oxford 9-6 in ths semis and play the winner of shrewsbury (we beat already) or grafton.

Fall Ball:  There will be a meeting in August about Charlton Fall Ball teams in the Minor League, Little

League and Junior League levels. 

Tom Foley would like to thank the Charlton Little League, and all the parents who generously donated uniforms, gloves, cleats and equipment to his care package being sent to the Dominican Republic Little Leagues.  The donations will be greatly appreciated by many young ballplayers who don't enjoy the quality gear and equipment that our kids do.  I will be organizing another shipment next season, so please don't throw out the cleats your kids have outgrown, or the gloves they no longer use.

Thank you all for your support!

Tom Foley
