This weekend the Three Village softball team honored local veterans during their annual military tribute game.
Each year Ward Melville celebrates their veterans with a special game that honors the members for their service. This season the team formed a tunnel for the veterans to walk through while their name, branch of military, rank, and honors were announced. The team wore white jerseys with stars on one sleeve and stripes on the other, as well as their pants having American flag stripes on them.
Three Village said about the game "The players, coaches, parents, and community members did an amazing job honoring and recognizing our veterans for their service. Thank you to our veterans for their service and the team capped off an amazing day with a great win!"
Ward Melville got off to a slow start this season, but they have turned their year around. The Patriots have won two games in a row and five of their last six games overall. Their offense has been the catalyst scoring 16 runs in the past two games 43 runs in their last five wins. They now will play three games in a row this week as they will attempt to move up the standings.
