Friday, June 19, 2009, 5:00pm - I am very sorry to report that the 2009 SMDC for U16 and U18 has been completely canceled for this weekend. The fields are completely under water and there is no forecast telling us it will get much better. We will be meeting this week to discuss a possible rescheduling of the event. If you have any questions please email us at dsvolk@volkboxes.com.

President
For information on the 2009 Southern Maine Diamond Challenge, please select FLAME NEWS AND INFO.
Congratulations to all the Flame players making the news lately. It seems I can't pick up a paper these days without reading about a player, or multiple players, from the Southern Maine Flame!!
Wow, 500 Strikeouts!! What an accomplishment!! http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=258029&ac=PHspt
Laura plays for the Flame's U18 team.
The average fan may not realize what a good catcher means to the team but, trust me, all of us coaches certainly know!

Heather and Colleen have been playing with the Flame for many years and Janelle played for me at U10 and U12 and for Coach Schatz at U14.
The SOUTHERN MAINE FLAME has started off 2009 in typical fashion, with lots of victories! The U14 went to the April Fool's Fest in Plainville, MA and placed 2nd out of 18 teams qualifying for the PONY Nationals. The U10 went to Cambridge and won the Charlie Leto Memorial.
In the 2009 season, the Flame is fielding teams at the U-10, U-12, U-14, U-16 & two teams at U18.
