Thursday, August 14, 2003 Old-Time Baseball: From today's Gloucester Times:
Townies, Chiefs settle nothing: IPSWICH – After two and a half hours of baseball in the Inter-Town League Championship last night, nothing was decided. Two-time defending champion Rockport Townies and host Ipswich Chiefs battled to an 8-8 tie in Game 3 of the best-of-five series. The game was called after seven innings because of darkness and will be replayed in its entirety in Ipswich tonight (5:30). The series is tied, 1-1. "What would an ITL finals be without a tie?" Rockport veteran Bruce Emerson asked.
Meantime, the annual FleetBoston Oldtime Baseball Game will be held in Cambridge tonight to benefit the Special Olympics. And yes, that is Tollway Joe Morgan. Six, two and even.
