A double-header was part of the North End Athletic Association’s 2011 Opening Day Baseball Program.
This year’s season will be played in memory of Tony Iudiciani a life-long resident who passed away at the young age of 19. Representatives from the Iudiciani family tossed out the traditional first pitch.
