After several days of rigorous, spirited practice led by Andrew Stachiw, the Wabun softball team faced the always tough Bear Island Braves for the 79th annual match-up on Wabun Field on June 27th. Based on previous history and an embarrassingly lopsided win-LOSS record, Wabun staff took the field with great anticipation and a modicum of trepidation. After the first inning, with a key hit from Nate Levin, Wabun was up 3-0. The fans on both sides went crazy as the runs continued to pile up. As all tales are spun in the North, no one knows the exact score (either 8 - 1 or 7 - 1 ) but we know we won! The teams shook hands and Wabun gave a cheer for Bear Island, knowing full well next year Bear Island will come with new recruits and renewed passion. It was, as Dick Lewis says, AWESOME!

An omen for an excellent summer in the North. Yay Team Wabun! Sad I couldn't see it in person.
