The final score: Blue/Home 22 vs Orange/Guest 21

Since 2016, one of the most popular summer programs offered through the Bedford Recreation Department is the Adult Co-Ed Slow Pitch Softball League. At the end of a great season, the 2018 championship game was played on Sunday evening, August 26 between the Orange and the Blue teams.

The game exceeded expectations for excitement. The Blues were ahead, often by multiple runs, until sixth-inning when Orange team homers evened the score. In the end, the Blues’ walk-off ground rule double sealed the win — 22 to 21 — and the 2018 championship.
