The Beverly Optimist Club has supported amateur sports and more specifically baseball
within the NCABL for many years. Darrell Dingwall has been a long term Optimist Club
member and has been a strong supporter of the NCABL and its programs, particularly
the developmental programs involving umpire mentorship and the integration of minor
aged players into the mainstream rosters. Due to the four hour rain delay, Barry
Fredrickson (also pictured to the right of Commissioner Riopel) was unable to deliver
the ceremonial first pitch of the ball game. Equally satisfying for both Optimist Club
members, however, was the victory they posted (5 – 2) over the Westlock Power Sports
and Marine All-Stars.
