Season Opens Friday at Fraser!

LYNN, Mass. 一 The summer has arrived.

After three days of player arrivals and preseason practice, the North Shore Navigators will open the 2026 season on Friday at Fraser Field. First pitch is set for 6:05 p.m. as the Navs host the defending champion Keene SwampBats in their debut under first-year field manager Jack Hawke.

Tickets for Friday's game and the entire 22-game home schedule are now on sale. General admission is $7 for adults (14 years of age or older). New this season is a "Food Ticket" for $13, including a hamburger, popcorn and water along with admission to the game. Kids 13 and under are admitted free!

For those who can't make it to Fraser, it will be streamed live on the new NECBL+ on HomeTeam Network. Friday's game, and every NECBL team's home opener, will be free of charge. For the remainder of the season, subscription options include an All Access Season Pass for $124.99, a seven-day pass for $24.99, or 24-hour access for $9.99.

Select games throughout the season will also air on ESPN+.

On the field, the Navs welcome back familiar faces from last summer's team: infielders Conor Moriarty (Bowdoin), Jack Rickheim (Harvard) and Simmi Whitehill (Monmouth), catcher Aidan Sengenberger (Seton Hall), and pitchers John Milewski (Brandeis), Ray McNaught (Winthrop) and Cole Yennaco (Merrimack).

The rest of the North Shore roster includes players from all over the country, including numerous North Shore natives. Lynn's own Josh Doney (UMass Lowell) and Revere's Jack Zimmerman (Dayton) were high school teammates at St. Mary's, playing their home games right here at Fraser.
