BC named top New England softball team for the third-straight year
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – For the third consecutive year, the Boston College softball team was honored by the BoSox Club, the official booster club of the Boston Red Sox, as the top Division I softball team in New England.
Senior Lexi DiEmmanuele and sophomore Emme Martinez attended the annual luncheon on Tuesday to accept the 2018 award for the Eagles.
The event, which is held annually and recognizes the top baseball and softball teams from New England's college programs, successful youth and amateur teams and the BoSox Club Man of the Year.
The BoSox Club was formed in 1967 by Red Sox officials and fans to promote baseball at all levels and to assist the Boston Red Sox in community and charitable endeavors. Today, with over 800 members, it is the largest and oldest official fan club of its type in all of Major League Baseball. Former Red Sox player Dom DiMaggio was the Club's first president, while former broadcaster Ken Coleman is a charter member.
Traditionally, the BoSox Club has raised funds both inside and outside its membership to support many worthy causes including the Red Sox Foundation, the Jimmy Fund and New England Little League organizations. The BoSox Club is also instrumental in providing seating for challenged fans at Fenway Park through the Challenger Program, and provides financial assistance to a select group of deserving athletes to attend a baseball camp each summer.
