WALDOBORO – The Waldoboro Recreation Department's Adult Coed Softball League began its 11th season last week with over 150 participants scattered over 10 teams.  

"Our 11th season is off and running,” said Waldoboro Recreation Director Kyle Santheson. "It just amazes me how popular the league has been. I'm looking forward to some great competition again this year."

The league plays by American Softball Association rules with a few twists.  Men must use wooden bats and remain behind markers in the outfield when woman are at bat.  The ladies are allowed to bunt, and automatic walks are issued in certain situations. The average age of the game day lineup must be 33 or greater. Ten players are in the field, three of which must be a woman and all players bat. 

Teams play a 12-game schedule followed be a double elimination championship tournament scheduled for the weekend of October 5. In all, there are over 80 games to be played. Games are played at Waldoboro Little League's Foster Field, Medomak Middle School and Medomak Valley High School on Tuesday's and Wednesday's at 5:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m.
