After leading in the 6th inning, the amateurs eventually lose to the professionals.

The GHTBL All-Stars led by a handful of former professional ballplayers and several former NCAA athletes matched up against the New Britain Bees of the Atlantic League on April 15th at New Britain Stadium. This pre-season exhibition served as an early start and a fun day for local fans. The final score was 18-6 in favor of the Bees, though the GHTBL All-Stars led 6-5 through six innings of play.

Vernon Orioles catcher, Wes Hurty had a good day with a run-scoring double. Ulbrich Clippers hurler, James Kukucka threw a perfect inning in relief and Manchester Braves pitcher and outfielder, Mark DiTommaso chipped in with an RBI single and a solid inning on the mound. Jack Ceppetelli, Manager of the 2016 Playoff and Regular Season Champions Vernon Orioles managed the GHTBL All-Stars.

A special thanks goes out to the Bees GM, Gerry Berthiaume and their Legal Counsel, Jamie Goldman for organizing the day.
