Last weekend, under sunny skies and balmy temperatures, a total of 23 teams (16 men’s, six women’s, and one old-timers) turned out for a softball tournament in honor of Cory Burke, a survivor of Ewing’s Sarcoma, who is now facing a battle with Osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, in the same shoulder. The tournament was organized by Chris Harvey, a town employee and friend of Cory’s brother Curtis, to raise money for Mr. Burke’s medical expenses.

“It was great to see the community come together for the family,” said Mr. Harvey.

“As before, we have so much support, and we are so grateful,” said Sue Burke, Cory’s mother, prior to the event. “We’re just taking things one day at a time.”

The tournament attracted a large crowd to the town sports complex on Saturday, with many teams sticking around to tailgate in the parking lot or watch the other games taking place.
