The 2025 final, in full
The Blackstone Valley Spinners captured their first CNEBA title in four years of participation, beating the Lunenburg Phillies in a best-of-three by 3-2 and 8-1, clinching on the evening of August 10 at McLaughlin Park in Leominster.
The league records who was in charge: Blackstone's player-managers are Marshall Quinley and JP Lucier; Lunenburg is guided by player-manager Steve Lajoie with assistant coach Dave Salvatelli.
Player-managers, named, with the venue and both scores. That is a league writing its own history properly rather than posting a photograph and a congratulations.
Every season played on High Cheese is kept as standings, box scores and rosters together, so a first title in four years has the four years underneath it.
