Mayport-

          This year’s little league baseball season may be over but for one local team it ended with a bang! The Mayport Naval Station All-Stars came out on top, winning the State championship and finishing the season with an overall record of 17-3. Two of this year’s team members were SN Peter Guarno and SR Michael “Mac” Ciccone of the Mayport Division Sea Cadets. Both boys had great season records:
