Somerville’s Emmett Easton proudly showed off his Second Place award at Fenway Park.

By Bob Schofield

Somerville Little League’s own Emmett Easton came in Second Place in the 7/8-year-old baseball division of the 2016 Pitch, Hit & Run Team Championship at Fenway Park this past weekend.

Congratulations to Emmett, who is the first participant to represent Somerville in more than 10 years. Everyone is looking forward to seeing him advance beyond Fenway Park next year and on to the National Finals during the MLB All-Star Week.

National Finalists will receive an all-expense paid trip to the All-Star Game and will participate in an array of festivities upon arrival, including a PHR Welcome Reception, MLB Brunch and All-Star FanFest. Finalists will compete on field prior to shagging fly balls during the Home Run Derby and attending the All-Star Game.

Good luck next year to Emmett and all of Somerville’s participants!
