The Central Mass Frenzy wrapped up an extremely successful summer season. In baseball and softball, the old adage is that offense wins games but defense wins championships. We had them both. Over the course of 25 games played this summer, the Frenzy scored 200 runs and let up only 71. And when the dust had settled at the end of the season, we had compiled a record of 22 – 2 – 1 (including a record of 13 – 0 in elimination games). Those victories included winning championships at all four tournaments they entered this year: Tewksbury (MA), Leominster / Sterling (MA), Albany (NY), and Bellingham (MA). One trait that the team exhibited consistently over the course of the season was the confidence to never give up. On four different occasions – including two tournament championship games – the team scored the winning runs during their final at-bats. During the final tournament of the year in Bellingham, the team overcame deficits of 0 – 2 and 0 – 4 during elimination games to eventually claim the title.
