Baseball is in full swing and you can watch Fillmore Little League’s social media for all the great tags and amazing plays caught by family and friends!

This week there was a recommendation for Gabriel Torres of the Minor B Angels team to be the Player of the Week. Gabriel made his pitching debut on April 6th. This was his first time ever pitching, and had several strikeouts.
“This ball player always has a positive attitude, positive sportsmanship,” said Jax of Fillmore Little League, “and is an all-around great player.”

Umpire Ivan Becerra has been lending a hand umpiring. He grew up with the league and still offers his assistance.
Santa Paula and Fillmore got the chance to duke it out with lots of great sportsmanship and competitive play. Great hits, great pitching and Roman Cervantez for Majors Angels got THE game ball on Tuesday and Saturday’s game. Way to go Little Leaguers!!

If you’re feeling really hungry, I can attest to the fact the french fries are on fire this year! Come on down to the snack bar when League President Anthony Albanez is working and ask for the Anthony Special--chili fries--I hear it’s worth the drive even if you don’t have anyone playing.

As a momma and former coach, I love watching my son and all the kids play, learn, and grow. Remember recreational sports is more than learning an athletic skill; it lets kids be comfortable being coached, learn to be a team player, and builds a sense of accomplishment and good sportsmanship that can last a lifetime.

Of course, all the leagues in town are made up of bodies of volunteers. Consider giving a little of your time to help organizations keep running. Umpires are always needed! See Fillmore Little League’s board members or social media for more information.
