And we&#8217;re hoping that this will get girls falling in love with, if not baseball, then sport in general, and participating in sport for their whole lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Salem Elementary Principal Ada Phinney looked on as the game got started on Wednesday, and said she\u2019s excited to see the enthusiasm for the sport grow among her students. \u201cI\u2019m just talking to a lot of our students here tonight and you know, they see each other with the jerseys on, and I think it&#8217;s going to be a big thing,&#8221; says Phinney. &#8220;I&#8217;m really thrilled to hear how many kids are involved in baseball this year in Sackville.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minor baseball is experiencing an upsurge in participation in Sackville, and the Sackville Minor Baseball Association is working to meet the increased demand.
