On April 30, members of the O'Connell community gathered before the final regular season home baseball game of the season to dedicate the baseball stadium in honor of former coach, teacher and principal, Alward V. Burch. In attendance were Burch's family members, former players and students and many friends.
Mrs. Donna Burch cut the ribbon on home plate and her grandchildren unveiled the permanent plaque nearby. O'Connell's school chaplain, Rev. Gregory Thompson blessed the field and led the group in prayer.
