With a turnover of 40% of a team's roster, due to retirement, challenges were
destined for Carroll County Blue in 2015. The top three hitters in 2014 found
it necessary not to return: Mike B, RNH (aka R'Nealius), #9 (aka Tinker)
and #22, (ALS), who had to bow out for shoulder surgery).
"Tony F "found it prudent to attend to family health
matters while Pete M and Mike P considered 12 years enough.
Blue was fortunate to acquire the likes of Jim H., Jim J., Dennis, Keith, Bruce and Larry
to fill the void, but it takes time to gel as a cohesive unit. While there were highlights
to the season, such as providing Dundalk with their first loss after their perfect 214 season,
the up and down play of Blue yielded a 18-24 record. A tough one run loss in the
bottom of the seventh in tourney game one was disappointing as was our second game
loss when we just couldn't overcome our deficit in the 7th.
The future for Blue looks bright as the "rookies" have now become re-acquainted with their
softball skills of yore.
The Blue tradition of family first (biological then team), camaraderie, and production with all contributing will
continue!
