Suburban League resolves Silver Spring win. Mount Pleasant fined
At a Suburban League executive meeting, the June 23 Silver Spring vs Mount Pleasant game was awarded to Silver Spring after Mount Pleasant notified they could not field a full team. The June 21 game, where neither side could field nine, will be replayed as a postponed game with both teams fined. Mount Pleasant’s franchise was in jeopardy and will effectively join The Washington Post as Mount Pleasant with The Post uniforms.
