Fall ball: Senior softball league seeks players

Ocean County’s largest autumn senior softball league is looking for a few more good men and women.

The “slow-pitch” but fast-paced organization is open to Berkeley residents age 55 and up. (Residents of other towns in the county must be at least 60, because the league is sponsored by Berkeley Township Recreation.)

Advance registration is required for a July 28 draft of players or a second draft on August 11.

Last year the Berkeley Fall Senior Premier League had 108 participants on six teams.

Its Tuesday and Thursday morning doubleheaders will begin on September 8 at Whispering Pines Park in Holiday City, off Route 37, and at Veterans Park, next to Central Regional High School.

Each team will play 28 regular-season games, plus playoff games at the end of October. A $35 per-player fee will cover shirts, umpiring, secondary insurance and softballs.
