UMass Boston: Throw Backs

UMass Boston is a commuter school sitting right on Dorchester Bay. It shares a small peninsula with the Kennedy Library and the perimeter of its campus is part of the bikeway south of the city.

Many of its students are older and are looking for a second start in life. Which is why this story in the Boston Globe of their baseball team's journey to the NCAA DIII tournament is so compelling. The Beacons have won eight straight post-season games and are now off to Wisconsin for the national finals. I love the part where they have to cut through a row of bushes to practice at BC High next door.

Makes you feel good just reading about them.
