By: Mark Zinnel- Buttermaker Reporter Mother nature rained out the Buttermakers game on Saturday in Jackson, but Hadley would manage to get their other scheduled games played during the week.

Here is the week’s recap: Wednesday at Lakefield HADLEY 13 LAKEFIELD 0 – 7 INNINGS Hadley traveled east to take on First Nite League opponent, Lakefield Horned Frogs. The young Frog squad usually plays a tough, scrappy game against the veteran Buttermaker in Lakefield.
