Hartford Softball Tournament To Raise Funds For Scholarships

HARTFORD, CT — The Hartford Yard Goats may have packed up for the fall, but their home this Saturday, Oct. 22, will host a very special softball tournament featuring the area's bravest and finest — all for a good cause.

Hartford Firefighters Local 760 is hosting its annual Julio Lozada Softball Classic at Dunkin Donuts Park, 1214 Main St., Hartford, at 3:30 p.m.

There, a tournament will pit the Middletown Police Department against the Hartford Police Department and the West Hartford Police Department against the Hartford Fire Department.

The winners of those two softball games will then play in a championship game later in the evening.

Tickets are $10 at the gate, with all proceeds benefitting the Julio Lozada Scholarships, which are set up to aid youths in memory of Julio Lozada, who was killed in 1979 when a building collapsed on him when he was 11.
