Play ball! Island Park Little League starts season

Posted

On a radiant summer-like day, the morning of May 7 brought a sense of anticipation and excitement to the quaint village of Island Park where children and families marched in the Island Park Little League Opening Day parade from Island Park to Shell Creek Park, where their season officially started with the first pitch.

Under clear blue skies, Mayor Michael McGinty and U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito threw out the first pitch to officially start the season.

The clash of the ball meeting the catcher’s glove marked the beginning of the Little League season that will form the soundtrack of exciting summer days to come.
