😎 Check out these little sluggers on the Varsity field! Thanks to ELC for hosting our Little League baseball players tonight!

⚾❤️ What a great night at the ballpark for Little League Night! ❤️⚾

A huge THANK YOU to all of the young baseball players who came out to be recognized before tonight’s ELC varsity baseball game. It was wonderful to see so many future ELC baseball players lining the field and showing their support for our program.

We appreciate the players, coaches, parents, and families who help make youth baseball such an important part of our community. Nights like these remind us how bright the future of ELC Baseball is!

Thank you for being part of a special evening, and we hope you enjoyed watching the Midgets’ big win over GTRA.
