By |

My weekend suggestions for this first week of April includes two exhibits to go see. The one at the Mosesian, Art and Healing is a mixed media show that will be there until May 1. Check out the mostly cardboard piece in the photo below. The library has a new exhibit of fiber art called Farm to Form, which is a collaboration between Gore Place and fibre artists. Celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of America at the Mount Auburn Cemetery with a literary historian who will talk about how authors in the 1800s turned the American Revolution into our national legend. Enjoy some fine Persian cuisine at a new restaurant from the team behind a long-time Watertown favorite dining destination. Get your weekend started by singing your favorite tunes at Mighty Squirrel.

JIM’S VIEW: Watertown Baseball Opens The ’26 Season With A Solid Non-League Win

By |

There are many “truths” in baseball, and there are two among many when it comes to early-season Spring baseball games. Truth number one? Quite often the weather will be more suited to Football season. Truth number two? Very rarely will games be “clean.” In other words, there will be errors and base-running gaffes and pitchers who have trouble finding the strike-zone, and on and on. Most high school teams get relatively very little time outside prior to the regular season beginning, and just as little actual game action. All that said, Saturday’s home opener was a pretty darn good baseball game for Game 1 of the season, and despite all the above happening, the Raiders swung the bat, played decent baseball overall and received two quality pitching performances on the way to a 9-7 non-league win versus Fitchburg.
