If you weren’t paying attention to the senior softball set, here’s some trivia: More than 1.5 million men and women over 40 play Senior Softball in the United States, according to Senior Softball USA. Clearly, Grandpa and Grandma aren’t hanging around the house waiting for the grandkids to visit - they’re probably already at the batting cages.

Quite a few of those seniors swing their bats in the Triangle, and they’re good, too - good enough to be the only teams representing North Carolina at Oct. 17-26 Senior Softball USA World Championships in Phoenix, Ariz.

Tennis is one of those sports in the Triangle that we all know people are playing but we don’t hear much about. Then all of the sudden a lot of people are raising a racket and tennis demands the spotlight.

That’s what’s happening these days. Busy local organization are hosting benefit tournaments, everyday players can join a local ladder to compete against similar players and some Triangle players won titles in a big tournament in Durham. Check out the news below.
