Every time I go to the stadium, I can’t help but question if it was really worth it. As you walk by on one side of the street, you see an absolutely beautiful $1.5 billion mecca of baseball, while on the other side of the street, you see the old stadium looming, empty and silent. How can your heart not wrench when you see one of the greatest baseball stadiums of all time in neglect?

On Wednesday, May 26, the girls tennis team clinched their first FCIAC championship since 2006. The girls faced the Greenwich Cardinals, who they previously beat 4-3 earlier in the season. Their regular season victory broke the Cardinals’ three year, 83-match undefeated record. Confidence from that match fueled the Rams to beat Greenwich in the FCIAC final, 5-2. “I was very confident with our team coming into this match,” Head Coach Gail Overbeck said. “With the way our singles players have been playing in addition to our first doubles, I would be surprised if they didn’t win their matches.”
