The Amador County Little League kicked off its 2025 season with an exciting opening day matchup between the Jackson Lions and the Dirt Devils on March 30. The Lions emerged victorious with a final score of 6-1, showcasing strong performances from both their pitchers and catchers.

The game, held under the lights—a rare treat for local youth baseball—saw the Lions take an early lead and maintain control throughout. Pitcher Maggi delivered a standout performance, effectively working the strike zone and striking out several batters, including a crucial three-pitch strikeout to start the sixth inning. His confidence on the mound was bolstered by solid defensive support, particularly from the catchers, who executed key plays without allowing many balls to get past them.

The Dirt Devils struggled to capitalize on their opportunities, despite having runners in scoring positions. Their lone run came late in the game, but it was not enough to close the gap. The Lions' offense was more effective, with timely hits that allowed them to extend their lead.

As the game concluded, both teams displayed good sportsmanship, shaking hands in a traditional post-game gesture. The event not only marked the beginning of the season but also highlighted the community's commitment to youth sports, providing a platform for children to develop their skills and enjoy the game.

With the successful opening day, the Amador County Little League looks forward to a season filled with competition, camaraderie, and community engagement, continuing a cherished tradition in the area.
