Winchester Hosts Cal Ripken Tournament

Throughout this week, Winchester is hosting the 12 year old New England Regional Tournament. In addition to Winchester, the teams participating are Gorham, Maine, Nashua (West), New Hampshire, North Country, Vermont, South Meriden, Connecticut, West Warwick, Rhode Island, Marlboro, Massachusetts and Marshfield, Massachusetts. The winning team will advance to the national world series in Van Buren, Arkansas.

The tournament is held at the West Side Field complex. Opening night festivities on Friday were exciting and the play is expected to be outstanding. The Town is pleased to host the players, families and fans during the tournament. A special note of recognition to Bob Nutile, long time coach and League official. The Bob Nutile Field was dedicated last year at West Side, and Bob continues to be the driving force in hosting the tournament in Winchester.
