Niantic ready to play

The Niantic American Legion baseball team did the smart thing- it stayed in Torrington Friday night.
Trust me, you don't get to Torrington from Eastern Connecticut. At least, not very fast.
Niantic plays Shelton this morning in the first game of the Legion Senior state tournament. Shelton comes in with a 23-4 record and is labeled as one of the teams to beat.
Nate Belke (4-1) gets the nod for Niantic this morning against Shelton's Jason Foster (7-1).
The weather is supposed to deteriorate as we travel through this Saturday. That's bad news for Waterford. The Zone VI champ is scheduled to play Plainville this afternoon at 4:30 here in Torrington.

Hey Marc,

It looks as if Shelton, CT will be a force for quite awhile. If I'm not mistaken, the are representing CT in the New England Regional (LLWS)

Hope all is well!
