Point Pleasant Baseball and Softball Teams Revel in Opening Day Parade and Games
Parade and "first pitch" followed by opening day games.
Baseball and softball teams from Point Pleasant Borough, Point Pleasant Beach and Bay Head marched through Point Borough on Saturday to kick off their season.
Players, coaches and parents from the league -- the Point Pleasant Youth Baseball & Softball Association (PPYBSA) -- walked from Point Pleasant High School to McKennan Lake Field.
There, PPYBSA President Jerry Gencarelli addressed the players and Point Pleasant Borough Mayor Bill Schroeder threw out the first pitch.
Games commenced after the ceremony.

The photo with children sitting and waving flags, with adults on either side of them and behind them, has little girls wearing navy and red T-shirts sitting in front row on the ground. Also, there are girls in two different "rows," if you will, marching behind Point Pleasant Councilman Bob Sabosik and a drummer in another photo. A photo gallery of a huge group event like this is always going to be sample of the total contingency. I'm sure we'll be out photographing teams again, so please email me directly at denise.distephan@patch.com to let me know about when we can take pictures of different girls' teams. Thank you so much for reading Patch and for your comment.

I took photos on the field and have several of the girls' teams marching in to the ceremony. Look for them soon on here :)
All in all - it was a great day to start off the season. Thanks to all of the players, managers, coaches, and families who participated and showed their support today! A big thank you to all of our volunteers who helped make this a great experience for the kids! Now we just need the warm weather!
Play Ball!
