After multiple rainouts, Johnston Little League was finally able to celebrate its annual Opening Day festivities last Saturday. The day began with its parade, starting in the parking lot of Johnston High School, which proceeded down Cherry Hill, Atwood Ave and Hartford Ave before wrapping up at Kennedy Field at War Memorial Park. The day later included opening ceremonies following a full slate of action to get the season underway.
The Expos got a big win and were led by JJ Splendorio with four RBI while Mason Lombardi earned two strikeouts on the mound for the opposing Astros. Mason Poole got a pair of hits for the Cardinals, while Eden Nova picked up three hits for the Yankees.
