Bacon Academy was quite the sports lover's dream on Monday and a lot of people took advantage of the nice weather to come out and take in a game...or two.
The biggest crowd was over at the softball field where two rivals, the host Bobcats, and the Griswold Wolverines were playing.
The expected happened, a close game, highlighted by a couple of nice defensive plays by Griswold and some timely hitting on the part of the Wolverines as they danced past Bacon 3-0. One thing to remember, these two teams will see each other at least once more.
All you had to do was follow the tarred path (which I became quite familiar with) and there was a tennis match between the Killingly and Bacon Academy girls tennis teams. The Bobcats just managed to pull out a 4-3 victory over the Redgals in that one.
And if you didn't mind just a few more steps and down a slight hill, there was a baseball game between Bacon and Windham. All that one featured was a no-hitter by Bacon Academy senior Bryan Howes as the host Bobcats beat the Whippets 8-0.
All in all, not a bad 80-plus degree day to be in Colchester.
