With the motto “New league, new teams, new friendship, one Dorchester!”, this event kicked-off the merger of Savin Hill Little League & Cedar Grove Baseball, creating the Dorchester Little League and the Dorchester Babe Ruth.
The new league operates under two charters. Ages 4-12 will be chartered through Dorchester Little League, and ages 13+ will be chartered through Dorchester Babe Ruth.
