CLOSING DAY CEREMONY, SATURDAY JUNE 6

This Saturday we have three exciting championship games.  The Major Mets will play the Major Athletics, the AAA Mets will play the AAA Athletics, and the AA Diamondbacks play the AA Angels.  See the schedule below.

At the Ceremony, ESLL President Bob Underwood will give final remarks, the graduating 12 year old players will be honored, and awards will be given to 1st and 2nd place winners of the Major, AAA, and AA divisions.

The snack bar will be open until the Home Run Derby is finished.  During the Home Run Derby, all players are welcome to come and help shag balls, but only 9 year-olds (and older) may be on the field itself, for safety reasons.  This is always a lot of fun!

New this year:  Shag a golden ball that has been hit over the fence, and you are exempt from one snack bar shift next year!  So get your kids out in that field!
