Along with flowers in bud and the promise of warmer weather, Shelter Island Little League Baseball is back.

Over 60 local children have signed up for this year’s Little League season.

Little ones, ages 4-6 play in two T-ball teams sponsored by Elli’s store and RLW4 Builders. The next age group, 6-8, are two Coach Pitch teams sponsored by Katta Protective Service and Our Lady of the Isle. 

Peconic Plant Care is the sponsor of the Boys Minors Team, and Bartilucci Construction is sponsoring the Girls Minors Softball team.
