Rockets Advance to the SYBL Playoffs

The Needham Rockets have clinched a spot in the Suburban Youth Baseball League playoffs! Depending on this week's results, the Rockets will either be the fourth or fifth seed in our division. In either case, our first round playoff game will be at 10:00 this Saturday in Braintree. We will have the field location later this week. We have scheduled two additional practices to prepare for Saturday's game: a full practice Thursday evening and a shorter batting practice on Friday. Following Friday's batting practice, there will be a team outing to The Junction for some ice cream.

These additional practices are coming at you on short notice, so they will be optional. If your son can make it, great. If not, we totally understand.

Here's the whole playoff schedule of games and practices (the Master Schedule has been updated):

• Thursday, July 28 Practice 6:00-7:30 at Memorial
• Friday, July 29 Batting Practice 6:00-7:00 at Memorial
• Friday, July 29 Ice Cream 7:15 at The Junction
• Saturday, July 30 First Round Playoff Game 10:00 at Braintree

     If the Rockets win...

     If the Rockets win...

• Tuesday, August 2 Practice 6:00-7:30 at Memorial
• Wednesday, August 3 Championship Game 7:00 at Norwood
