On Friday, May 5 the Payne Ball Association met at the Elementary school for a presentation of the sponsors and to announce all the new improvements going on at the ball fields. Some of the developments include new bleachers, a new electronic scoreboard, home plates and 9 new sets of catcher’s equipment. All of this goes to show how hard the new board is working to make ball play a great experience for the young kids. Before the presentation was a dinner with donations for all involved. One particular business, Designer Cakes, was recognized after they donated the cupcakes for the event.
The evening completed with all the kids, coaches and sponsors in attendance standing out on the floor to be recognized.
One note was the opening date was changed to May 13 due to the flooding and rain the day before. Players and coaches will receive updated schedules once all is finalized on the changes.
