The 2014 Summer Legion baseball season is over for Nazareth in both the Junior Legion and Senior Legion as they fell short of the playoffs this year. For the Senior Legion team, it is the first time missing the playoffs since 2007, but they have won 4 titles since then. 2014 was Jason Brown’s third full season coaching the Senior Legion team. The Nazareth Junior Legion team ended the season 9-11 while the Senior Legion Baseball team ended the season 5-12-1. The Junior Legion Baseball team went to Lower Nazareth on Monday, June 30 and won 11-4 and then came home Tuesday, July 1 and played Southern Lehigh at 6 p.m., but fell short 3-0. Sunday, July 6, they played their last game of the season with Lower Nazareth and won 11-1. The Senior Legion Baseball team went over Northampton on June 30 and fell 9-3. On Sunday, July 7, the Senior Legion Baseball team played Bath at home in their home finale and fell 2-1 and then an hour later, went to Wind Gap to resume a game from July 3 that was stopped due to rain and won that game 4-1 to end the season. Both teams hung in all summer very strong and will return next year! For up-to-the-minute Nazareth sports news, visit www.nazarethsports.net.
