Click on the link to see how the Merrimack Valley teams did at the MA Senior Games softball tournament at the Cape May 29th - 31st. Players are mainly from the Nashua Senior Softball League and the Merrimack Valley Senior Softball Association (Haverhill). The MA Senior Games softball tournament consists of 4 regions of the state - Merrimack Valley, Eastern MA, Western MA, and the Cape Cod Softball League. Each region enters 1 team in each of the 5 age groups - 50s (new in 2026), 60s, 65s, 70s, and 75s. This was the first year for a MV 75s team. 

5 teams:

2 champions (65s, 70s)

2 runner-ups (50s, 75s)

1 3rd place finish (60s)

Not too shabby...

Cornerstone Services vs. The Loft @ The Pug

Game 1:

The top of the order lead the way for Cornerstone as Jay Kopko was 4-5 with 3 RBI and Chris Sullivan was 4-4 with 4 RBI. Barry Bertwell and Eric Pellerin also chipped in with 3 hits. Jack Gilhooly drove in 2 runs. Curt Cassista was a wall over at third base.

Game 2:

Jack Gilhooly was 4-4 and knocked in the game winning run in the bottom of the 7th inning. After a leadoff triple by Pat Lavagna, The Loft intentionally walked the two batters in front of Jack to set up the force play. Jack cashed in and won the game with a single. Pat Lavanga had 3 hits and 2 RBI, and Chris Sullivan, Eric Pellerin, and sub Eric MacKinnon all chipped in with 2 hits apiece. Austin Spinella played a steady first base. With the two wins, Cornerstone Electric is now 5-3 and has a share of first place.
