On Monday, Aug. 2, the Woonsocket City Summer Rec Program held their end of summer party for the softball and baseball players, coaches and parents with a cookout and awards ceremony at Lake Prior. Coach Armando Rodriguez welcomed everyone to the gathering and remarked on the successes that each team had throughout the season before handing out the awards. This year’s awards honored three players from each team’s age group with Most Valuable Player (MVP), Most Improved Player (MIP) and the Ace Award for the individual who displayed hard work and a positive attitude all season. The awardees received a t-shirt in honor of their achievement.
