Boston Tufts Alliance softball outing a grand slam

September 29, 2005--“Team Boston Tufts Alliance” rallied to an impressive 26-7 victory over a team of Johns Hopkins and Boston University alumni on Saturday, September 17 at Cassidy Fields in Cleveland Circle.

“It may have been the team shirts or energy from the dessert cannoli and pastries (brought along to feed the team), but for one reason or another we had the right stuff out on the field today,” noted co-organizer, Michele Shelton, A92.

Despite threats of rain and the unfortunate timing of Boston College’s first football game of the season, the co-sponsored alumni event attracted a great turnout and fun was had by all. Following the game, participants from all the schools continued with high spirits to the Publick House on Beacon Street (original plans of going to Cityside were abandoned because of long lines of BC football fans). Ideas were exchanged about involving young alumni at events in new and innovative ways.

“The success of this first game has led us to think about organizing a league for next season to expand on the idea,” said Shelton.
