The Ches-Mont Baseball League is gaining momentum and will now offer softball in 2012.
Three years ago, a group of men put together an adult baseball league called the Ches-Mont Baseball League in an effort to live by its motto "Be a Kid Again..." No matter how they act, kid or adult, the men embarked on a mission to expand the league and get both Montgomery and Chester Counties involved in a fair, fun and organized league that had a travel aspect and competitive nature. Wrapping up its third year, Ches-Mont plans to expand from nine teams this year to 12 teams in 2012, and in addition, start up a fast-pitch softball league for the women in town. "This is the growth we’re talking about," said webmaster and main marketer Bryan Walbridge, who is also the secretary of the Spring-Ford Youth Athletic League. "So far, the response…

The 2011 Carpenter Cup ends for Chester County softball in Wednesday's series of games.
PHILADELPHIA - “Failure is not an option” said Pottsgrove junior Jessica Kurtz, who shrugged off the effect of a bruised knee from Monday’s action. Kurtz helped lead the Chester County all stars to two consecutive wins, eliminating two squads on Wednesday morning. It wasn’t failure that ended the Chester County team hopes of a Carpenter Cup championship. Heat, fatigue, a hard-hitting Lehigh Valley squad and perhaps most of all, ghost runners, which were the culprit that put an end to the day for Chester County. After back-to-back wins to start the day, Lehigh Valley had an eight run first inning and put the brakes on Chester County’s roll to the finals in the 9-3 loss. In international and Carpenter Cup play when a team has a player …
