The Stoneham Sabers' 10th anniversary season came to an end on Thursday night. The Sabers lost to the Charlestown Townies, who will be going to their second consecutive Yawkey Baseball League Finals. The Sabers lost three great baseball games, where they fell short due to timely hitting. The Sabers lost game one 5-2, game two 2-1 and game three 2-1. Manager Angelo Colucci said "We played three great baseball games, unfortunately we were on the losing side of all three. Both teams have phenomenal pitching and the Townies just executive a few more timely hits than we did, it is as simple as that. We made a few base running blunders in game three and just could not capitalize on offense all series. However, we are happy that we were even able to play baseball this year and our 10th anniversary season was a success. I love this team, I love this league and you bet we will be back next year competing for a YBL championship."

The Sabers would like to thank Chase Orthodontist, Whole Foods in Melrose, Salem Five Bank, Anderson-Bryant Funeral Home and Dick's Sporting goods for their support this season!
