Westport High, MLB star Levrault opens batting cages in Fall River

FALL RIVER — When his friend Jimmy Raposa showed him the space and shared the idea, Allen Levrault needed all of five seconds to say yes.

That was two months ago. And if all goes well, Levrault, the Westport High School Athletics Hall of Famer and former Major League pitcher, and Raposa, owner of Red Circle Firearms Tactical Firearms Academy in the city, will have a baseball/softball batting and pitching indoor facility ready to open for business on or around Dec. 18.

Hauss Power Batting Cages, owned by Vanessa Levrault, Allen’s wife, is located at 847 Pleasant St., across the street from PriceRite, in the mill that formerly housed the discount book store and now houses Fall River Snack Factory.

Inside The Park, the baseball/softball facility which operated in the city for many years, recently relocated to New Bedford after the mill building where it was housed (Plymouth Avenue and Route 195) was sold.
