Also, thank you to all of the managers and coaches who have dedicated countless hours at practices, strategizing and well....coaching, to the All-Star committee for living at RRLL for a week, to all of the parents who "volunteered" to work the concession stand, to the fans who supported the teams, to the umpires who called the games, and to the volunteers who kept the fields in great shape.

Grand Opening of the Roadrunner Little League Softball Field

Roadrunner Little League is proud to open the new Girls Softball field. Bob Cleavall has administered the project from the Roadrunner side for the past year, however none of this would be possible without the help of our State Legislators.  Please see the attached flyer for girls softball!

Opening Day 2007

Opening Day was a big hit with the kids and baseball fans across the board.  Roadrunner Little League was honored to have Major League Baseball Hall of Fame member Brooks Robinson throw out the ceremonial first pitch for the first game of the day.  Mr. Robinson stayed throughout the game and was spotted coaching third base for the minor division Orioles.  To add icing to the cake, former Major League pitcher Christian Parker was also present for the ceremonies and caught the ceremonial pitch from Mr. Robinson.

 

                                           

    Mr. Robinson                                            First Pitch                                      Robinson and Parker

 

The members of Roadrunner Little League would like to sincerely thank both Mr. Robinson and Mr. Parker for taking the time to help with Opening Day Ceremonies.
