On the morning of July 8, the Sun City Clippers (age group 70+) and Sun City Bushwhacker’s (age group 60+) left the friendly confines of Eakin Field to once again compete in the Six County Senior Olympics softball tournament held each year in Elk Grove. Both teams were sponsor by Chris’ Lawn Care Service. The 70s were managed by Glenn Groebli and the 60s were managed by Gary Krewer

The silence is gone. The sounds echoing from Eakin Field are the same sounds we have heard in the past at the local softball fields in and around the Chicagoland area. Those youngsters of the past are now grown men who have contributed to the growth of the country and who most have served our country in the Armed Forces.
