We would like to thank all of the players, coaches, and parent volunteers and for being part of our Clinic and thank all the players and fans that came out to watch the 2 great games Monday night. There will be a youth baseball night this year for one of our varsity games, and all those players that participated in the clinic will be able to get in for free to the game and join our varsity players on the field as they warm up for the game. We hope to see as many fans as possible this summer cheering on our Lions baseball team for what hopefully will be an exciting and successful season.
