I'm glad the Mets are never in contention at this point, so I can instead cheer on whoever New Jersey is trying to send to the #LLWS. Let's go, Bayonne! What a 5th inning

It's time to start gearing up for the new sports year. There's a change for me this fall, as I'm shuffling over to boys soccer. It's been an awesome five years covering field hockey. I'm going to miss being involved in it. A big thank you to the field hockey community!
