S
ummer is the time for young,
up-and-coming baseball play-
ers to hone their skills and
to seek out and play tough competition.
But it’s also time to have some fun, with
alumni games and friendly competition
between local teams who usually don’t face
each other in the spring. It’s all happening
now on the ballfields of Clatsop County,
where the summer season is in full swing.
An infielder for Astoria waits for a call from
the umpire after a play at third base.
A Seaside infielder leaps over an opponent sliding into second base.
A member of the Seaside alumni team gets a hand stretching before a game.
Alumni teams are also playing friendly games during the summer baseball season.
