Battle of The Genders At St. Maria Goretti Church
Angels and Saints square off on softball field. The score? What score?
A friendly "battle of the genders" softball game was held at St. Maria Goretti Church's field on Sunday, Sept. 10, followed by an end-of-summer cookout.
The women's team, dubbed the "Angels," and the men's team, the "Saints," enjoyed perfect softball-playing weather while family and friends cheered them on. For the final inning, the kids were invited to join in to show the grown-ups how it's done. The final score? Nobody cares.
Following the game, players and fans enjoyed hamburgers, hot dogs, and a variety of salads and sweets, as they good-naturedly recounted awesome plays, joked about athletic abilities, and worried about the next day's aches and pains. Lynnfield Knights of Columbus members Ken Kasprzak and Paul Petkewich set up the cookout and manned the grill.
Special thanks to Donna Hegan, Pastoral Associate, for organizing another fun, family event.
