Spring Swing1245 viewsOn March 3, the Mattapoisett Youth Baseball Association (MYBA) sponsored their first annual “Spring Swing.” The event was held at Center School, kicking off the 2006 baseball season for the Town of Mattapoisett. This fundraising event gave the children of Mattapoisett an opportunity to showcase their batting skills, raise some money and have fun. This would not have been successful or even remotely possible without the participation, assistance and support of many parents and special guests.
