After winning the adult co-ed softball championship 10 years in a row, the Island Towing team is calling it quits. Molly Finch says “We’re getting too old for this…” with a laugh. “…after 10 years, it’s time”.

Tuesday evening of this week, they won their final game with a score of 8 – 6. When it was all over, Pitcher and Team Captain Gene Wilson left his cleats on the pitchers mound as he walked off the field for the last time.
