Dreams Come True at Dedication of New Little League Field
About 300 fans gathered south of Matthews School for the dedication of a $5,000 Little League Ball Park built by volunteers. Southeast Missouri observers watched as eight Little League teams formed a semicircle, with Luan Twitty praising supporters and Chief of Police Arthur Bruce throwing the ceremonial first pitch to Homer Stallings. The opening game saw American Legion defeat Lions Club Little Leaguers 7 to 9 in a thriller inspired by Don Larsen’s World Series moment.
