ADAMS, Mass. — The Greylock Thunder Travel Softball League, a division of the long-standing Adams Lassie League Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, funded the installation of new state-of-the-art LED stadium lights at Russell Field.
 
For more than 50 years, the Adams Lassie League and its Greylock Thunder division have provided young athletes in Adams and surrounding communities with opportunities to learn, compete, and grow through the game of softball.
 
"These new lights will benefit not only our players, but the entire community," said President Corey Bishop. "Russell Field has been the heart of local softball for generations, and we're proud to help ensure it remains a safe, modern, and welcoming facility for years to come."
 
The LED lighting system replaces older fixtures with energy-efficient technology, dramatically improving field visibility for evening games while reducing long-term maintenance and utility costs. The upgrade also supports the League's commitment to sustainability and fiscal responsibility. The new lighting system is now fully operational.
 
There will be a "Lighting of the field" ceremony and a subsequent night game on Sept. 19 at 7 p.m.
