Bech Brings the Heat - July 18, 2008
PITTSFIELD - Nathan Bech, (R West Springfield) candidate for the 1st congressional district of Massachusetts, will have the chance to throw out the first pitch in the Pittsfield Dukes baseball game versus the Lowell All Americans, Wednesday, July 16. The game begins at 7 p.m.
The Pittsfield Dukes are a member of the New England Collegiate Baseball League. The NECBL is a summer collegiate wooden bat league, established to provide college baseball players from around the country the opportunity to sharpen their skills through competitive action while the players are on their summer recess from schooling. The Pittsfield Dukes play at Wahconah Park, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Pittsfield is also the birthplace of college baseball and the site of the earliest reference to Baseball.
Bech, a veteran from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, jumped at the opportunity to support the local New England Collegiate Baseball League. "Every American should be eager to do two things: support our troops and watch baseball, the American pastime," Bech said.
Bech, a competitive runner at West Springfield High School and at the US Army's Defense Language Institute, said he understands how important it is for these athletes to stay tuned up in the offseason. "It is also great for the fans;" Bech says "They get a chance to see theses kids play before they make it big." The Bech campaign invites any one interested in watching some exciting summer college baseball to take advantage of free tickets, provided by the Committee to Elect Nathan Bech. If interested, please contact Peter Giftos at the Berkshire County Republican Association, 413-448-8100.
