East End Little League opened its season on Saturday with a new turf field at East Quogue Elementary School. The opening ceremony was dedicated to the memory of the elementary schools’ former principal Rob Long, who died of cancer this past August and who was instrumental, according to East End Little League President Bill Dawson, in making the addition of two turf fields on the school property happen. The district permits East End Little League, which includes youth from the Remsenburg-Speonk area east to East Quogue, to use the fields for games and practices. Long’s wife, Dawn, threw out the first pitch and a Suffolk County Police helicopter flew over the field. DANA SHAW PHOTOS
