STORY & PHOTOS BY THOMAS ELLIS II<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, May 3, 2025 the Ivy Hill Little League held its Opening Day celebration at Houston Stevens Field in Ivy Hill Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was great, bright and sunny. What a wonderful day for the Parade of Players march to the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once on the field, the first game was the T-Ballers, with 4, 5, 6, and 7 year olds – Yankees vs. Mets. This was their big day to show what they learned so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The players hit the ball, ran to first, and were happy as can be, while the defensive players made several good plays. A couple of players hit for their first double, with all the parents so proud of their children and the exciting game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next was a scrimmage game with the Minors and Majors, with the Majors winning 5-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that made this a awesome event was the Ivy Hill Little League Opening Day Cookout for the kids with hot dogs, chips, snacks, juice and water for the teams, coaches, family members, and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hats off to the Ivy Hill Little League, who put so many smiles on so many faces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
