An update on Hancock County Little League

I spoke with Herb Sires when I was in MS. He is the leader of the softball and baseball leagues to which BonaResponds donated a truck full of equipment from Western New York and as far as COnnecticut.

The league finished their season last week. Here is an article I found from the start of their season from WLOX:
"...two ball fields destroyed by the storm are now back up and running just in time for the start of the season.

This day of outdoor athletics marks a significant step on the post Katrina road to recovery.

Catcher Natasha Saucier has been playing softball for 12 years. Like most of her team mates, she was displaced after Katrina.

Saucier says she felt relieved when she heard the good news that there would be a softball season this year.

"This is my last year playing so its really important for the memories before I go to college," says Saucier.

Her teammate, pitcher Cindy Fouasnon, is grateful for all of the volunteers. Fouasnon says without them, there would not be a season."
