NEW SCOREBOARD AT BLAIR IS A HIT BUT NEEDS AN ASSIST; SCORE A DONATION

SILVER SPRING, July 24—The new scoreboard at Blair is quite the marvel; you can actually tell the inning we’re playing, and how far ahead the Thunderbolts are in any particular game.

But the cost of this new digital masterpiece could use some help from our fans. As you cheer on the T-Bolts, consider making a donation to a GoFundMe campaign to defray the scoreboard expense. It’s a long term investment in the T-Bolts future and an investment in summer collegiate wooden bat baseball in the area and the DMV.

Visit the Gofundme (Click here or Scan the QR Code) and help us out. Keep those scoreboard lights on for future seasons!
