The Battle of Ridgefield was not the only event that had locals excited today. For many Ridgefield youth, the baseball field was the place to be. Today, Saturday, April 29 kicked off another season for Ridgefield Little League. An Opening Ceremony took place at Governor's Field this morning.
Ridgefield Little League opened the season by remembering one of their own - League Administrator and longtime volunteer Patti Capilli who passed away last month after a long and brave battle with cancer. She dedicated her time and talent to Little League - even from her hospital bed as she neared the end of life.
"It was a touching moment when Steve Scalzo, Little League President spoke about Patti's devotion to her family, friends and Little League," said John. "She was unwavering in her commitments to the very end," he added.
