St. Maria Goretti Parish Teams Battle To A Tie

A release from the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative:

LYNNFIELD – St. Maria Goretti Parish held its 2nd Annual Softball Game in the field behind the church Sunday. The cool weather and overcast skies were signaling the change of seasons, but this group was not yet ready to putt away their gloves and bats. This time, the teams were mothers and sons versus fathers and daughters, so families came out in full force!

Father Paul Ritt, Pastor of the Lynnfield Catholic Collaborative, served as umpire, which made questioning his close calls a little difficult. The game ended in a tie with dad Taidgh McClory caught in a run-down between third and home.

Following the game, players and fans were treated to a cookout of hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, and sweets. A great way to close out the summer!
