Nine sweep season opener double header in Smithtown

When one considers the Roxbury Nine boasts fours sets of brothers, a step father and son, an uncle and two nephews, it’s no doubt the club has been organically grown from a small rural town. However, the competitive edge that our boys of summer exhibit is remarkable considering the roster is developed from a total town population of 2500 people.

The Nine came back with one and shut the Atlantics down at the top of the second. keep reading
