The baseball and softball teams of the Philipstown Little League recently ended their spring season. The players sometimes played through tears, either after getting beaned, having a tough inning on the mound or making the last out. But their teammates and coaches quickly offered support.
In one softball game, a player was hit in the head by a line drive. This being Philipstown, one coach had paramedic training, the umpire was a member of the Cold Spring Fire Co. and a parent in the stands was a doctor. A baseball pitcher endured a miserable, unending, terrible inning, but in the next frame found his zone.
