The Sharks are back. For the moment toothy metaphors will be cut in favor of straight baseball. The Vineyard’s summer baseball league opens up at home against the Valley Bluesox on Wednesday, June 5 at the Shark Tank.

This will be the team’s debut in the New England Collegiate Baseball League, the number-two rated league in the country.

First pitch at the Shark Tank is at 6:30 p.m. That’s right, dinner time, and the Bluesox are on the menu.
