Opening ceremonies were held Monday for the Berwick-Bayou Vista Softball League’s annual season. The teams in
Berwick-Bayou Vista will play with teams from the Morgan City Recreation Department this season. Due to rain, Monday’s
ceremony had to be brought indoors at the Berwick Civic Complex. In the top photo, Morgan City Mayor Frank “Boo” Grizzaffi swings at the ceremonial first pitch from Berwick Mayor Louis Ratcliff, while St. Mary Parish Councilman Glen Hidalgo catches and St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office Maj. Scott Anslem umpires. In the photo above, Abram Gilder sings the national anthem, while officials hold their hands over their hearts. (Submitted Photos/Courtesy of Greg Roussel)
