It was opening day for the 2000 Roslyn Little League season in the girls softball, ages 11-12. The Mets prevailed against the Dodgers in a 24-6 victory. Defensive play was led by Kerry Zimmerman who pitched three strong innings with her battery mate Madelyn Berger. Sparkling defensive play included a double play initiated by Malorie Simons and a spectacular catch at second by Brittany Robbins. Offensive highlights included a line drive double by Taylor Yablon, a 3 RBI single by Alex Kauffman and two grand slam homers by Johanna Weiss. All the kids on both teams played well and showed surprisingly little rust after a long off-season and a short spring training.
