Named on the games that mattered
The league keeps a Fields section, and names grounds on its biggest fixtures: Krock Field in Worcester for semi-final game one, McLaughlin Park in Leominster for the 2025 clincher, Shrewsbury High School for the 2026 play-in.
Its five clubs are drawn from Auburn, Blackstone Valley, Lunenburg, Shrewsbury and Worcester, which is a wide stretch of central Massachusetts for a league this small, and the driving is real.
High Cheese ties a ballpark, an address and a map to the game itself, so a semi-final at noon in Worcester is found first time.
