ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – The BVI Little League Baseball and Softball Association will be commencing its 2014 season with an opening ceremony on the Old Recreation Ground in Road Town today, Saturday February 15, 2014 at 2 pm.

Kennard Dawson hit deep just inside the right hand foul line to score the winning runs and secure the Orioles' Little League Baseball Championship last season, with a 7-4 win in game 3 and they will, once again, prove the team to beat going into 2014.

Co-organiser, Milton McLean, took a few moments from his busy schedule to explain what the players, parents, family and friends can look forward to during the opening day 2014.

“It’s a big day as it marks the second season that we have organised. There will be five teams participating in the 9-12 age group. We are trying to make it enjoyable and exciting for the players and fans and realise that these kids need to be organised and doing something worthwhile,” said McLean.

The Opening Ceremony will be attended by various Ministers and McLean hopes that just like last year the Governor, His Excellency, William Boyd McCleary, will also be there.

“We have invited all the dignitaries and will give them all a chance to speak before we present the trophies from last season including the big one that goes to the Orioles. Participants from last year [will] also get certificates and afterwards we will have a game between the Orioles and Yankees,” McLean said.

The Ceremony starts at 2 pm and game time will be around 3 pm.

    I went to see the final game last evening. A great game between 2 great teams. But what amazed me was the only girl that was playing. Boy, u should have seen her pitch. I watched her strike out 6 boys in 2 innings. She did not allow a hit. I was told she is 1 of the best young talents around in softball and baseball and she is only 11. You will see the news tomorrow. I was told her name is Claury Scatliffe. I took it upon my myself to go and inyroduce myself to her and congratulate her performance. I had to stand in lne while she was glowing to her dad and brother about her game. I look forward to attending these games and I wish the league only the best.
