Saint John's versus Blessed John in Softball

St. John's Seminary played the Blessed John XXIII Seminary Relics in our Annual Softball Game at Regis College this afternoon. Saint John's took home the Trophy for the second year running with a score of 12-3!

The game was made possible by the Knights of Columbus and New Balance of Brighton who provided team uniforms. Thanks to all who came out to cheer the teams from our brother seminaries on a rainy October afternoon and congratulations to the Saint John's Seminarians who worked so hard in training for this game.
