It has been a terrific spring for the Tiverton girls softball all star teams as two of the teams won the District 2 championship and a third is in prime position to win the title this week.
“Our coaches deserve a lot of the credit on the successes we have realized this season,” said Tiverton Little League president Mike DeCotis. “They work tirelessly to teach the fundamentals.”
“Our players have marketedly improved over last year,” he said. “The girls recruit their family and friends and bring new players into the fold and even the new players are making great strides.”
