Old Town put an end to Del Ray’s three-year winning steak with a 24-23 victory in the seventh annual Del Ray vs. Old Town softball game June 2 at Eugene Simpson Field in Del Ray.

The annual game between members of each neighborhood’s business communities was a quest for the John Porter Cup, named for the beloved former principal of Alexandria City High school.

The five-inning game pitted Old Town, led by Chadwick’s owner Trae Lamond, against HomeGrown Restaurant Group’s Bill Blackburn and the Del Ray team. Mayor Alyia Gaskins was on hand to throw out the first pitch.
