Gloucester entered an 8 year old team in the first annual Stan Brown Memorial Jamboree which ran from July 30th to August 15th. This was the first time that an 8 year old team was assembled to compete at tournament level play. The Gloucester "Crazy 8′s" made it all the way to the championship game losing to Byfield/Newbury in a very close 4-3 game.
Attached is a team picture as well.
The names of the players are:
Front Row from left to right are: Batboy Emerson Marshall, Joe Wilson, Sean Reardon, Jacob Mortillaro, Evan Smith, Harrison Marshall, Batboy Richie Wilson
Middle Row: Daylon Lark, Nate Frontiero, Marcus Montagnino, Brandon Bruce, Ben Scola, Joey Martin, Joey Ciarametaro
Back Row: Coaches Jamie Marshall, Sal Frontiero, Paul Scola and Manager Rick Wilson
It would be great if you could recognize this team and it’s accomplishment in your blog.
Thank you,
Paul Scola

I am so proud of the Crazy 8′s. These young boys learned to pitch, catch, steal, and slide within 3 weeks to prepare for this tournament. The other teams they competed against were a lot more experienced in this tournament. And yet the Crazy 8′s made it all the way to the championship game. They proudly won second place. My son Daylon Lark was the catcher and I am so proud of him.
