The boys of summer will be missing this year, as the Martha’s Vineyard Sharks confirmed Sunday that they will cancel the 2020 collegiate baseball league season.

While an early-March snow shower might have Islanders reverting to winter blues, summer baseball is not far away.

The Martha’s Vineyard Sharks’ first season in the NECBL came to a close last night, with the Keene Swamp Bats defeating the boys in purple 4-2 to take home the league championship.

The Keene Swamp Bats came, saw, conquered and left victorious with a 14-10 win over the Martha’s Vineyard Sharks in game one of the NECBL championship Wednesday night.

Riding a wave of dominant starting pitching, heroic plays in the field and clutch hitting, the Martha’s Vineyard Sharks are two wins away from being crowned champions of the NECBL.

The Sharks eked out a victory in their first game of the NECBL playoffs Sunday night, defeating the Newport Gulls 2-1. The series now moves to Newport for a 6:30 p.m. game Monday.
