Seymour winning streak
I incorrectly reported the length of Seymour's current winning streak in my game story on Friday.
In the midst of trying to write my story and take all of your phone calls, I wrote that the Wildcats have won 50 straight games. Actually, Seymour has won 59 straight. The 0 and 9 are so close on the keyboard that my finger just clicked on the wrong number.
I apologize for the error. 59 straight...quite the accomplishment. Hats off to the Wildcats.

Gem Shopping: Week 2
Well once again the weather has wrecked havoc on the schedule but hopefully teams can get on the diamond at some point this week.
Some of the gems this week are:
It'll be a busy week in the Eastern Connecticut Conference as unbeaten Norwich Free Academy, 5-0 and ranked eighth in the Register Poll, hosts undefeated Fitch-Groton on Wednesday and then travels to Waterford (5-0) on Thursday.
We will find out just how good Fitch is after the Falcons knocked off Rachele Fico and Masuk-Monroe last week. Fitch plays Waterford on Friday.
In Southern Connecticut Conference action, Hand-Madison (5-0) travels to No. 1 Amity-Woodbridge on Friday.
The dates and records are as of Monday. Hopefully, Mother Nature cooperates. We could all use a break from the rain.

Stats and Scores
We’ve been having some difficulties with our Web exchange score-reporting system.
Coaches are still encouraged to use the system. If you want to report scores this way, please e-mail me at mpucci@nhregister.com to get your user name and password for access to the site and directions in how to use the system.
In the past, we have tabulated statistics using that site. However, because of the technical difficulties, we weren’t able to calculate complete statistics for every game that has been reported to us.
We hope to continue putting statistics in the paper every Monday, but I need your help.
Please send complete season statistics to the e-mail address above by Saturday evening each week if you want your players mentioned in the leaders section.

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da...................Washout!
That Mother Nature has not been kind to our athletes this spring so far.
All of Monday's softball action from across the state was postponed due to Sunday's Nor'easter, which dropped as much as eight inches of rain in some parts of the state.
As I was driving into the office this afternoon, I drove past this makeshift soccer field on Ella Grasso Boulevard. It looked more like the Ella Grasso River as the water almost reached the road. I don't even want to guess at the condition of some of these softball fields. It can't be pretty. I know when I watched Cheshire host Amity this past Friday, they had to play on the junior varsity field as the varsity field was a mudpit.
So no games today. And I'll go out on a limb and say that some fields may not be ready to play on Tuesday.
