ANSONIA/DERBY – The Valley Rough Riders have won their first state little league baseball title — and they’re looking for the public’s help to play for a shot at the Little League World Series.
The team is hoping to fundraise $9,000 by next week. Click here to make a donation.
You can also support the team by attending a ziti dinner night on Monday (July 14). The dinner is 5 – 8 p.m. at St. Sebastian Club (86 Father Salemi Dr.), Ansonia. Admission is $10 and there will be a raffle.
