Boston Renegades Schedule and Directions



2008 Boston Renegade Schedule


Game Schedule:
The Rengades expect to play 16 games in 2008, which will be their second largest schedule in its history.


May 31: Boston travels to Hempstead, New York
For the first time ever, Boston will open its season in New York.  This will be the third year that Hofstra University will play host to beepball.  Boston has finished 2nd in the two previous years in a four team round robin.  Both years, the Renegades defeated Pennsylvania and the Chicago Comet B team while dropping tight matches to Long Island.  The same four teams will be returning

June 28: Boston hosts Pennsylvania for double header
For the second time in Renegade history, Beepball will return to the Boston area as the Pennsylvania Wolf Pack come to town for the first time.  Boston will welcome back former coach Carolyn Tassini who has moved to the Philadelphia area and been spotting for them since.  A new rivalry has stemmed from this East coast match-up as Boston heads into the 2008 season with a 3-2 record against the Wolfpack.  However, Boston has dropped the past two games. Both games will be held at Fillipello Field.  Game #1 will start around 9:00am while game #2 will start 11:45.

July 12: Boston travels to Haddonfield, NJ
This will be the second year for the Philadeplpia Hall of Fame Classic.  In 2007, Boston finished in third place out of four teams.  The Carolina Wild Card won the first annual tournament, Pennsylvania finished second, Boston third and Columbus finished fourth.  Columbus will not be retuning this year and will be replaced by the Cleveland Scrappers

July 29 to August 2: Boston travels to Houston, TX for the World Series
Boston will return to the World Series for the seventh year in a row.  Even though Boston won more games than it lost in the 2007 World Series, it finished as the 11 seed.  The first day of play will be a round robin format and will probably consist of three games.  The remaining day of the tournament will be double elimination.
