Mosquito spraying to continue in August

The Central Massachusetts Mosquito Control Project has announced additional dates in August to apply mosquito spray across town.
CMMCP teams are scheduled to start their August spraying schedule Aug. 5. According to the town website, the full spraying schedule is as follows: Aug. 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27.
All scheduled dates are tentative and subject to change based on weather, current mosquito populations, mosquito virus activity and special event spraying, when necessary.
Residents have the option to request service or opt out of spraying. Requests for service may be recorded by calling the CMMCP office at 508-393-3055 between 7 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday or going to cmmcp.org.
Residents can opt out of spraying by visiting the CMMCP website and clicking the “no spray info” button.
The CMMCP is focusing its efforts on target areas in town where mosquitos are likely to breed. According to the Health Department, stagnant water bodies, wetlands and retention/detention ponds are strong candidates for mosquito breeding and activity. The town also coordinates additional treatments before large municipal events if need be.
Spraying will continue throughout the summer and will end “when cool night time temperatures become predominant in the area,” the notice on the town website states.

Last Thursday was a memorable night for Hopkinton Little League, as three of its baseball teams — all playing Tondorf Tournament championship games at the same complex in Medway — rallied for dramatic victories. The 9U team trailed Dover-Sherborn 9-1 in the second inning but fought back for a 12-9 win. The 10U team was losing to Medway 7-0 in the third inning but came back and won it on a walk-off in the sixth. The 12U team completed the trifecta by overcoming a one-run deficit to Ashland in the final inning, winning 4-3 on a walk-off hit. Afterward, all three teams posed with their championship rings.
