Intermediate All Stars: The District 8 Berlin Intermediate All-Star squad kicked off its title run on Saturday in Thurmont, Maryland, against Rising Sun. Berlin gained an early 4-1 lead, but Rising Sun of District 5 took advantage of some mistakes and came from behind to win, 21-8. Berlin bounced back the next day, topping the District 2 Montgomery PHOTO COURTESY MIKE MOSELEY County team, 19-11. The Berlin Little League Intermediate All-Star squad poses for a photo. On Monday, Berlin outscored St. Mary’s, 14-5.

We [then] had a rain delay and after that, our bats woke up,” Moseley said. “My pitcher, Ryder Bodis, shut them down. It was a really good game.” During the game, Gage Pettit had a two-run, in-the-park home run, scoring Kenny Moseley from second. “We’re playing really well so far. We have a really good team,” Moseley said. There are 12 players on the team, ages 12 and 13. The Berlin team was scheduled to 45 Years Experience play again on Wednesday evening in the double-elimination tournament.

Its mare, Moonshadow, was found dead by a park employee in the Oceanside Campground at As- sateague Island National Seashore on July 6. It is believed that her injuries were due to a low speed hit-and-run automobile accident the previous week along Bayberry Drive. The foal was also likely involved in the same motor vehicle accident. Al- though the foal was left slightly lame from the accident, she has been ob- served grazing and is apparently in good health, park officials said. But given her young age, the foal is at a significant disadvantage with the death of the mare. Park Service wildlife veterinarians said foals generally nurse more than three months, and are still learning to graze as well as how to integrate so- cially into a herd. After consulting with wildlife experts and veterinarians, park officials decided to relocate the foal to the Vir- ginia portion of Assateague Island, where its chances of survival would be improved. As part of the Virginia herd man- aged by the Chincoteague Volunteer Fire Company, the foal will receive immediate supplemental care if needed. She then will be introduced into the herd at the Chincoteague Na- tional Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge serves as an ideal site for relocation since the environmental conditions and grazing habitats are nearly identical between the two sites.

Like the Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney films of the late 1930s and ’40s and their inevitable line, “Hey, gang, let’s put on a show,” the Town of Berlin is at its best when it takes to the streets to present entertainment. Whether that would be in the form of a music festival, arts exhibition, a parade or a celebration, its varied events always seem to draw an enthusiastic crowd. This is largely because of sponsor support, the experience and creativity of organizers, and what seems to be the public’s commitment to having fun. So wedded to this ideal are the business and residential communities, that it almost seems many Berliners believe that the pursuit of enjoyment is a civic responsibility, and that the failure to celebrate would cast a shadow on the town’s carefully developed postcard image. That celebratory mood was certainly in evidence last Fri- day, when businesses, the chamber of commerce, the town government and a corps of volunteers entertained a massive crowd with its combined monthly Second Friday event and annual Bathtub Races. More than anything, the revival of the tub races after a year off because of the pandemic signaled the area’s return to semi-normalcy.
