Little League baseball and softball

Saturday morning, the North Whidbey Little League held their opening ceremony at the Windjammer Park fields.

After presentation of the colors by the OHHS NJROTC Colorguard, Katie McClimans sang the National Anthem and NWLL board president Mark Ridge then introduced each team.

Following the introductions, Two players, one baseball and one softball, led all the players in the Little League Pledge and the Chief Umpire led the parents in the Parent's Pledge. Then, Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley threw out the ceremonial first pitches, the first a baseball, then a softball.

When the ceremonies ended, most teams went off for their team photos, but the Major softball Mariners played a game against the Central Whidbey Dirt Devils. As was to be expected from the first game of the season, there were lots of errors and mistakes, but the girls all had fun.

Nearly 100 photos of the softball game are posted HERE.
