NEIBA NEW ENGLAND COLLEGE ALL-STAR GAME AT FENWAY JUNE 14
MEDFORD Many of New Englands top college baseball players will get the opportunity of a lifetime to play at historic Fenway Park in the 2008 New England Intercollegiate Baseball Associations (NEIBA) College All-Star Game on Saturday, June 14.\
A team of Division I All-Stars will play a squad made up of Division II All-Stars and Division III Senior All-Stars in the annual game. First pitch is scheduled for noon at Fenway. The University Division leads the series with a 21-10-1 record, but the College Division team won last years game with a 2-0 shutout.
Prior to the game, the NEIBA will present its annual awards. Three Teams of
the Year will be recognized Dartmouth in Division I, Franklin Pierce in
Division II and Trinity in Division III along with Coaches of the Year Bob
Whelan (Dartmouth), Jayson King (Franklin Pierce) and Bill Decker (Trinity).
Bruce Joyce, formerly the coach at Southern New Hampshire University and past
president of the NEIBA, will receive the Jack Butterfield Award, presented to a
coach who exhibits the integrity and dedication to the game that Coach
Butterfield displayed during his long career at the University of Maine. The
recently-established Kevin Burr Assistant Coach Award will be presented to
longtime Tufts assistant Bob Clarke. During the winter, John Claffey of the Cape
Cod League received NEIBAs Andy Baylock Distinguished Service Award.
