The opening ceremonies took place on Saturday, which included team recognition events for the squad which brought nine of it’s returning players from last year’s title team

Ramos said everything the girls are experiencing is first class.

“Little League did a great job with all these functions and how they were laid out,” Ramos said. “The girls are getting treated like professional softball players. It’s all about them.”
