Saturday April 25, 2015
Saturday was the opening day of the 2015 Little League season. While there was a chill in the air Mother
Nature cooperated and provided sunny skies all day. After thanking countless individuals for their
contributions, Little League president Todd Loucks dedicated the 2015 season to Terry Zimmer. Terry
was a coach and volunteer in the league for six years and continued to organize fund raisers and the
trips to Yankee Stadium for our community. After Alex Loucks sang a beautiful rendition of the Star
Spangled Banner and the reading of the “Little League Pledge,” teams took the fields for the opening
day games.
Northern Eagle vs Elks

Andrew Carrington hit the laces of the ball going 2 for 3 with a double and a home run.
One bright spot for the Elks was the bat of Zyeir Lawrence who hit a bomb to left field. The hit nearly
cleared the top the trees in left field. Luckily there was no traffic on I-88 at the time.

one run while striking out 15 batters. Tanner also went two for three at the plate. Aiden Breakey also
