Take Me Out to the Ball Game was a song written over 100 years ago, but can still be heard being sung loud and proud by members of the Indian Pathfinders.

The weather was perfect for a spring ball game between the Manchester Fisher Cats and the Portland Pirates. Members of the Pathfinders donned their yellow shirts and joined other local groups on the field at Merchant Stadium for a pre-game parade. Sophia Fonseca headed to the pitcher's mound prior to the game and with a big smile, threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

The game started with the Fisher Cats scoring 1 run in the first and second innings. The Fisher Cats held their 2 -0 lead until the top of the 6^th inning when Portland scored their first run. The Pirates took the lead in the 7^th inning but Manchester would not be stopped and responded by scoring in the 8^th. With the score tied going into the 9^th inning, the game was sure to be a nail bitter. In the top of the 9^th inning, Portland scored 1 run to take the lead. Manchester was not able to recover and ended by losing the game 4-3.

A big thanks goes to John Parsons from the Shoshone tribe for organizing an event that gave the kids and adults an afternoon of fun and excitement.
