More than 30 volunteers filled holes, replaced bases, built up the pitcher’s mound, cleaned the dugouts, raked leaves, picked up trash, and prepared the infield.
“Thank you to the volunteers who showed up to help,” Vice President Jason Cleveland said. “We greatly appreciate all of your hard work.”
“It was nice to see our fire department supporting the Little League and working side by side with the kids and other volunteers,” volunteer Chris Papavero said. “They really are a part of our Canyon Lake family and have proved that time and time again.”
