Everett Little League: Around the Horn

The Everett Little League T-ball and Farm teams kicked off their season last week at Sacramone Park.

The T-ball division, led by Director Jimmy Striker, has about 45 boys & girls on five teams with ages ranging from 3-6 years old. The players have been working hard over the past month at individual team practices and a weekly Friday night clinics, where the players get together as one group to learn the fundamentals and meet new friends. These practices have paid off as the teams had a great start on Saturday. The Orioles hosted the Phillies and Ronald Freeman, in his Everett Little League debut, got the game ball. He had a solid line drive and laser focus while playing first base. The Phillies had an amazing game and showed up to play against a veteran led Orioles team. The Dodgers visited the Rockies, and despite the Rockies having only one returning player from last season, they played well as a team and had some hard hits to the infield. The Dodgers also had a great first game bringing their newly learned skills to the field.

The season continues on at Sacramone Park at 9AM on Saturday where there is a rematch of the Dodgers vs. Rockies and the Cubs host the Orioles.

“The magic was gone,” wrote a Boston Globe sports reporter.
