Masks could not hide the obvious smiles and enthusiasm Saturday, April 17, as the Down the Middle coach pitch baseball team took to the field with hopes for a great season. Down the Middle Foundation (DTMF) was founded by Darnell “Bud” Lee, Jr. The mission of DTMF is to support the character development and athletic skills of youth through community service, mentorship, team building and sports education. We congratulate all the coaches, players, family and friends and wish them all a fun filled and successful season.
