Reston Association pondering plans for lighting Field No. 1, which will allow night Little League games but may also anger neighbors.
What will the future of Brown's Chapel Park look like with a lighted field? Depends who you ask. It will look like night baseball for Reston Little League players, but it could also mean light pollution for nearby residents. Reston Association approved more than $282,000 for ball field improvements at Brown's Chapel as part of this year's budget. Brown's Chapel contains three baseball fields. Much of the money will be spent on overall field enhancements, but RA also wants to install lighting on field No. 1 - which is the Little League field and the field closest to the Brown's Chapel building - as well as in the parking lot. The proposal has been discussed at recent RA Design Review Board meetings and will likely be discussed again in June…

Reston Little League's AAA Reston Nationals won the Starliper Tournament Tuesday, defeating Vienna 10-4 at Fred Crabtree Park in Vienna. The Nationals were down 1-0 early, but then scored two runs of their own to set the tone for the game. Vikrant Magadi took the mound for the Nationals and worked into the sixth inning, when he reached his pitch limit with one out. Vikrant went to the dugout with a 10-4 lead and Wilson Seneca took the mound to close the game.
