Franklin, NC Baptist Church
  Church League Softball [2008 Softball Schedule]


Listening to the players talk about softball near the church stairs, by the water fountain, in the parking lot and some wives say, in their sleep, you know the teams love to compete. But don't mistake the mission of the three teams. As Kelly Corbin states it is, "to uplift the name of Jesus, and in doing so, plant a seed among the players on both teams of the importance of having Jesus Christ in your life."

They do this through a demonstration of good sportsmanship, positive role modeling and calling any and all members of both teams after their games for a prayer at the mound. This type of good Christian Fellowship is the dominant mission, win or lose, no matter the league, Church or Industrial, or tournament play. Kelly continued saying he considers the softball team as an outreach ministry.

There are three teams, The Blue Team which is coached by Ed Rewis, The Maroon Team, coached by Danny Reitmeier and the Purple Team, coached by Jeff Cloer.

If you are interested in playing and it is not too late in the season, you can go out for either team, depending upon which team you feel more comfortable on. Looking at both teams records you can see both teams are very competitive in the leagues.
