After leading the Hampshire Regional baseball team to the postseason this
year for the first time since 2008, Tim Balut is no longer its coach.

Balut was informed of the decision by athletic director Ann Trytko on
Tuesday.

"I think that myself and large number of players were really surprised,"
Balut said in a phone interview Thursday. "It's been nice the last few days.
I've had a lot of phone calls and text messages from players and former players
expressing their disapproval."

In a phone interview Friday, Trytko said the decision resulted at least in
part from season-ending surveys by the players.
