Players upset the coach did not start all seniors during senior night
A YouTube video posted May 9 shows members of the Perkiomen Valley High School baseball team leaving the field to the cheers of some spectators. According to the video's description, the walk-off occurred because the "coach did not start all seniors" on Senior Night.

Perkiomen Valley Vikings cut short Spring-Ford softball's PAC-10 run, 3-0.
Pitcher Erin Hamm pitched lights out for the Vikings to aid in the 3-0 win over a Spring-Ford Rams squad that defeated PV two years in a row in the Final Four and twice already this season. "Starting off, they outplayed us," said Spring-Ford head coach Tim Hughes. "They deserved to win. They outcoached us. They did everything better than us. We were sleeping and again that's ultimately my fault. I've got to make sure we're ready to go and we weren't ready to go. I don't think we saw our best, but taking nothing away from them.

With classes having wrapped up for the semester, Ursinus College students might have waves on their mind as summer approaches.

The report also quotes Coach Kevin Small, who says Ward “represents the ideal of both Ursinus College and also Division III athletics. The …
