In this episode of Chatter in the Swamp, a quick recap of the Bats' week, then we’re going behind the scenes with workers who help make every SwampBats game night run like clockwork—Liam Falla, Director of Game Day Operations, and Brenna Carlton, Operations intern.

Liam shares how his experience as an intern last summer led to a leadership role in 2025, and why the energy of Alumni Field keeps bringing him back. Brenna joins us from Mississippi State, where she works with the women’s soccer team, and talks about her dream of one day becoming a Director of Operations for a professional team.

From early mornings to late-night breakdowns, Liam and Brenna offer a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create an unforgettable fan experience—and why Keene is the perfect place to spend a summer in baseball.

This week on Chatter in the Swamp, we’re joined by Gabe Pitts, an electrifying outfielder for the Keene SwampBats and rising star at Central Connecticut State University. After a quiet 2024, Gabe exploded onto the scene in 2025, earning NEC Player of the Week honors and proving himself as a top-tier talent.

In this episode, Gabe breaks down his journey from Tyngsboro, MA, to Worcester Academy to CCSU, and now to the NECBL. We dive into his mindset on the basepaths, the SwampBats' mindset within the team, and how he stayed motivated through a redshirt season. Oh—and we get into which is more satisfying: robbing a hit or swiping a bag.

If you’re into defense, speed, and the grind behind the breakout, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Chatter in the Swamp, we talk about SwampBats updates from this past week. Then, we go behind enemy lines with Tommy Sullivan, a rising redshirt junior pitcher from Franklin Pierce University and a key arm for the North Adams SteepleCats. Originally from Plymouth, Massachusetts, Tommy shares his journey from the South Shore to summer ball in the NECBL, reflects on life as a redshirt athlete, and gives us a glimpse into his mindset on the mound.

We talk pitch relationships, chemistries, and the intensity of NECBL rivalries—including what it’s like to face off against the SwampBats. Whether you're a pitcher, a hitter, or just a fan of summer ball stories, this is one you don’t want to miss.
