Gio “G-Money” Avila is this week’s player of the week at Fillmore Little League (FLL).
Coach Rudy Murrillo praised Gio with, “It has been a pleasure having Gio on our team. He always has the best attitude, gives it his all, and never gives up.” Last Saturday, going into the last inning, down by one, Gio told the coach if he got to the plate, he was going to get a hit and bring Santi and Kash in. He did just that to win the game! Gio went 4/4 Saturday, his best at bat this season!

Dinger hats are still being awarded from Lemon Tree Embroidery as the kids grow as players with the season moving forward. Thank you, Rob Lemons, you are appreciated.

Extra special shout out to the Minor B Yankees team; they sent a care package to their opposing team player on the Angels who got a bad hit by a pitch that broke his nose. What a class act, and great sportsmanship shown by the Yankees team.
Another special shout out to San Cayetano teacher Rory Maus, the community’s safety is his number one priority at the ballfield. He has been instrumental in getting lighted slow-down sign and other signage in the ballpark area to promote pedestrian safety for all the FLL kids, including his own. Please remember that when you drive on 2nd Street foul balls are being hit and kids may go into the street to retrieve them. Slowing down when driving by is just the right thing to do!
Remember FLL merchandise along with those yummy french fries will continue to be sold near the snack bar. FLL spirit is always in style!
