Men’s 50 Plus Inaugural Softball League A Success

 

(TROY, MI) – The Oakland County Men’s 50 Plus Softball League kicked off its inaugural season on May 15th, enjoying games in Troy and Royal Oak every Thursday this summer. Despite having only four teams for its first year, the members had a good time and overcame the league’s repetitiveness. The inaugural season concluded on July 24th at Troy’s Jaycee Park in an exciting game between the Troy Comets and Forever Young of Troy. The Troy Comets were victorious 19-14 and took home the championship. All the members had so much fun and said they would be back next year. They are looking for teams to join the league from throughout Oakland County, and for other Oakland County teams to travel to each city to play.
