Andrea Vermillion was one of five volunteers to be recognized during the World Series, saluted for her work with Little League baseball and softball in Satellite Beach and Melbourne Beach.
The kindergarten teacher and mother of three dedicates hours of her free time teaching lessons on the diamond. She even helped create a new softball team along the Space Coast to give more girls an opportunity to step up to the plate.
