Put them in coach, they’re ready to play.
Riverhead Little League kicked off its 2017 season Saturday with its annual opening day ceremonies at Stotzky Park.
This year’s festivities included a tribute to the 2016 9- and 10-year-old team, which won its division and reached the Long Island Little League semifinals.
“It’s a lot of fun,” said league president Jeremy Savio of opening day. “Baseball’s a great sport. I love coming down to the field watching the kids play and teaching them how to play. It’s a great time. A great community event.”
