The Geneva Red Wings will be hosting a Little League/Youth Baseball Night at McDonough Park on Saturday July 3rd as they take on the Auburn Doubledays. Game time is 7:05pm.
Donald Riveillo, who played in the very first Little League World Series in 1947, will be at McDonough Park to throw out the first pitch before the game. Â In the first Little League Baseball World Series, all the teams except one were from Pennsylvania. At the time, Little League only existed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. A Williamsport-area team (Maynard Midgets) won the first Series. Don was a catcher for the Jersey Shore Little League in 1947.
