Harvey Woods Fall Classic Set For Saturday

The Red Sox may be out of contention. The Pride and the Fisher Cats have put away stored their equipment for the winter. But there is still competitive baseball to be played in New Hampshire, courtesy of Daniel Webster College (DWC).

The inaugural Harvey Woods Fall Baseball Classic, sponsored by homes4saleinNH.net, takes place this coming weekend, September 23rd at Harvey Woods Field on the DWC campus.

The Eagles program, under the direction of Head Coach Jim Cardello, will host Rivier College and Emerson College. Game one features local rivals Daniel Webster and Rivier at 9:00 a.m., followed by Emerson vs. the loser of game one at 11:30 a.m.

The tournament continues with games at 2:00 p.m. as Emerson plays the winner of Game one, with a championship slated for 4:30 p.m.

The tournament includes a team award, as well as individual awards for pitching, offense and defense.

“Hosting a tournament here in the fall gives us a great opportunity to really see our new players in game action against an opposing school,” noted Cardello, who will start Casey Woods against Rivier in the opener. “By playing multiple games against multiple opponents it will help us se who works best with whom at various positions as well as give us an opportunity to showcase Harvey Woods Field to the community."

Homes4saleinNH.net is owned by Cardello and is considered a premiere website for those interested in buying or selling real estate in New Hampshire.

Harvey Woods Field was named by DWC trustee and field benefactor Fred Roedel. Mr. Roedel chose to name the field for his mentor and college baseball coach, Harvey Woods, long-serving athletic director and baseball coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
