The Riverhead Tomcats of the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League need host families for this upcoming summer. Tomcats players will arrive on May 29 and the season runs for approximately two months. 

Each player is in good academic standing with his university and has been recommended by his college coach not only for his ability but his character. Teams play five to six games a week, with 20 games at Keller Field in Calverton and 20 on the road. Host families are asked to provide a place to sleep, basic rations, access to laundry, and access to the Internet. They are not responsible for transporting players to and from games, or required to attend games.
