A poll suggested broad support for a statewide association and a membership fee, while the name change lacked clear consensus and prompted follow up at the next annual meeting. The piece also notes local Little League efforts and a separate baseball game recap with Biddeford and Thornton reporting a 4-3 win for Biddeford.
