Roux & Hanna help lead The Leahy Company in a passionate back-and-forth between 2 great teams! The National League Rec Season was a pretty good one this year for the Oradell Rec Program. In the past, teams would play each other as they worked their way toward the giant trophy among only Oradell. But in the past few years, the league has combined with other close towns for a more competition and friendly way to increase the number of game as well as learn the it's complexities.

Oradell Little League has been working very hard this off-season to provide a more informative website for its community. I am the the league's webmaster, and I've revamped and relaunched the new site just in time for opening day. The new site provides a true family feel. Since Oradell is ranked No. 1 of the top family-oriented towns in Bergen County, it seems very fitting. There are colorful and well-constructed photo galleries, and many pages with tons of valuable information. .

It was a gorgeous Wednesday night in Bergen County, and at first pitch, it was obvious there was the smell of victory in the air for both clubs. It was a true pitching duel between Oddo Law’s Charlie Racine and Butzel, Karadimas, Carrabba & Testin’s TJ Buono. By the 3rd, Oddo Law was up by one. The hits and plays kept coming. It was battle of true baseball talent, and by the 5th inning, Oddo Law took a 2-0 lead. Reliever Matt Quinn shut down their opponent, and in the 6th, he collected a save and secured victory for the now American League Champs.

Opening Day for Oradell Little League was a huge success. We had well decorated fields, and there were a lot of excited players, parents and coaches who got together to celebrate on a gorgeous day in our town. April 18th was a big day, and family and friends came out to support not only the games, but the entertainment as well.

An idea was floated back in March to make this Opening Day different. We wanted bring more people out to the fields and we even brought in live entertainment to Muehleck for the American League match-ups. We hosted the River Edge Orioles in a game against Butzel, Karadimas, Carrabba & Testin. Something that has never been done before on Opening Day. We even opened 2 games with some truly talented musicians, both 7th graders, who came back to the Little League program to share some unique talent.

Hoffman Field will reopen in just over a week after being closed for renovations since late August.

Spearheaded by Councilman Michael Staff, a $40,000 open space grant and approximately $100,000 taxpayer dollars funded the improvements to Hoffman Field which include:

- a new drainage system in the infield

-a Cooperstown-approved pitcher's mound

-a knee wall along the back of the field and new bleachers

-a fixed-lip in the infield

-a new handicapped parking spot near the base of the field

-a concrete a path leading from the parking lot to the field.

-seeding of the outfield in Spring 2016

Staff hopes to host tournaments at the U9, U10 and U11 little league baseball field.

Improvements on both of Oradell's little league baseball field didn't stop the first-seeded team from defeating Woodcliff Lake (6-1) Sunday afternoon on neutral turf in Emerson. Neither Hoffman or Muehleck — Oradell's only two-46-foot fields — were deemed unplayable by borough officials due to renovationtion.

"This championship game turned out to be more than just a baseball game," said Tony Ning, whose son helped pull the win for Oradell. Oradell Councilman Michael Staff and Recreation Director Kurt Peluso helped secure the "temporary home field," along with Team Manager Kim Dunphy and other borough officials, Ning said.

For some Oradell Little Leaguers, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" has taken on a whole new meaning. The players recently showed their charitable intentions by helping the less fortunate and taking part in a project to equip them for games. League representatives had a hand in asking the Oradell Rotary Club to help them donate some slightly used equipment to youth recreation programs in Paterson and New York. The Rotary Club was in the midst of cleaning out their storeroom, when they received a request from the equipment committee for used gear that might have otherwise been thrown out.
