Summary

Beaver Island school students completed a summer of two organized slow-pitch softball leagues in 2003, with Diane McDonough coordinating the program and uniforms earned through team fundraising or play.

Evidence limits

The feature does not provide standings, rosters, or a documented championship result. The earlier forum announcement’s linked schedule image is not preserved in the archive export, so the May 27 start date is retained only as a title-level advance notice.
