The town event is open to all resident 7-12 year olds. But while it takes place this Saturday, May 3rd, the age is based on “as of July 17, 2014”.
If your kids love baseball and fit in that range (or just want to cheer on the players) then show up at Mooney Field (Finn School) at 9:00 am – 12:00 pm on Saturday.
New this year, SLL will also be hosting the sectional PHR competition on May 17th where winners from the local competitions will gather to compete for the opportunity to advance to the State Finals at Fenway Park in June and then to the National Finals during the MLB all-star week at Target Field in Minneapolis, MN in July.
