FT teams to play fall baseball
Three Franklin Township teams and one Northwestern squad will be competing in fall baseball in the Parkland Youth League.
Two teams, FT Gray and FT Maroon, are scheduled to be in the American League, as is Northwestern, while there will also be a FT Maroon squad in the National League.
The American is a more competitive league, while the National is geared more toward younger players.
Jim Albert is the manager for the FT Gray team, and Jason Brandt leads the AL’s FT Maroon club. The skipper of the NL’s FT Maroon team is JC Dietz.
