It was another great week for Fillmore Little League (FLL) despite the rain. New home runs got added to the Dingers Club and they received a Dingers hat from Lemon Tree Embroidery to celebrate their accomplishments.
Jaxson Meyers is this week’s Player of the Week for the league.

Coach Gabe had this to say, “Jaxson is our little leader, he consistently works hard and leads by example. Jaxson shows up to practice with a great attitude towards coaches and teammates and won’t hesitate to remind others to pay attention. This last week I had a player that wanted to play 1st base, Jaxson without hesitation gave up his position, caught a pop fly at shortstop and made a triple play! He also went 3-3 at bat including a triple.”

Way to go Jaxson, way to be a positive leader! Thanks for some great baseball and outstanding leadership.
Also, Little League board members, players, coaches, family and friends headed to Dodger Stadium on Sunday for some Major League fun! Dodger rep Jamie worked diligently with FLL’s Erika Vargas to coordinate this very special event. Thank you, Jamie, for always coming through for our little town and an especially big thank you to Erika for being the heart of this process and making it as smooth as possible!

Well folks, that’s this week’s baseball highlights. Remember your coaches and umpires are volunteering their time, and doing their best! I encourage everyone to be of some sort of service to our community. It takes the community to keep these programs running. Let’s keep being the best little small town out there!
