Possible fall baseball team
The Carson City Little League will be conducting a "Fall Ball" instructional baseball league during the months of September and October and several Carson Valley residents are trying to organize a Douglas County team to participate in the minors division.
The league will be kid-pitch for ages 9-10 and it costs $25 for a dozen games and a shirt and cap. All games will be played at Edmonds Park in South Carson City.
Ability isn't as important as enthusiasm as organizers are looking for children that love baseball and want to play a little more in the offseason.
For further information, contact Warren Bottino at 783-6455 during days or 267-4763 in the evenings.
