Petrie remembered her first time as a GCLL player on opening day as “a really big deal. All the high school girls and baseball boys were like a big role model to all of us, and us running through the tunnels was just a really good statement piece that helps us keep coming back.”

JDHS sophomore Christian Brown said, “Opening day country wise email marketing list is super important for the youth of baseball to see the high schoolers play and it kind of inspires the next generation of baseball and softball players.”
The Juneau Police Honor Guard brought flags out and rendered a salute as the Juneau Youth Choir sang the national anthem.
GCLL players Colson Walker, Ellis Woodrow, Victoria Petrie and Devlin Dalman said the Little League Pledge; Antone Ferrell spoke an invocation; and GCLL President Lexi Razor — the JDHS softball coach — read a rededication provided by the City and Borough of Juneau.
“This field is made possible by the people of Juneau,” Razor said. “Playing Little League softball in Juneau in the ‘80s and ‘90s, having a facility like this is a dream come true. While growing up on our dirt fields might have made us a little tougher, this field is a welcome change.”
Razor noted some key people in making the new turf field happen, mentioning George Schaaf, Mark Hickey, Jim Ayers, Chad Bentz, Mark Pusich and RESPEC Engineering, “and all of you, the Juneau voters, who voted yes for Proposition 2 in 2022.”
