Around 12 noon, we will begin assembling for the Opening Day Ceremonies. All of our players and coaches, from tee ball, baseball, and softball, will be introduced onto the field. Our local Boy Scouts group will present the colors and the National Anthem played by a group of our student-athlete-musicians. Our players will all take the Little League pledge. We will then observe a moment of silence for our deparated friend and FTLL supporter Eddie Parra. Finally, we will honor our long-standing Little League sponsors, the Camden Rotary Club, whose President will throw out the first pitch of 2017.
After the ceremonies, we have more baseball and softball action afoot. At 1:30 p.m., McCormick's and Lincolnville Fire Department will play on the baseball field, and two of the softball teams will play on the softball field.
