FORT BELVOIR, Va. - The recitation of the Little League Pledge and the ceremonial first ball toss to each team led opening day festivities for the new season on new fields Saturday.

Bill Behring, Fort Belvoir's baseball commissioner, was honored for more than 38 years of volunteer service before the games began under a sunshine-laden day.

There were a few first game miscues and jitters as energetic players dotted all three of Fort Belvoir's baseball fields, but encouragement from parents, friends and family who filled the stands, made it a great day to play ball.
