MICHAEL GALVIN/The Independent

Future of America shortstop Oliver LaFarge scoops a soft

grounder behind the mound,

while pitcher Christian Fleming rushes to assist during

Friday night softball action at

Tom Nevers. Left fielder Max Hobson-Dupont backs up the

play. The U.S. Coast Guard

went on to beat Future

of America, 9 to 8.
