Thanks to Bob and the entire Clear Channel team! Representative Tony Payton Jr. from Philadelphia County & Representative Ron Marsico from Dauphin County both came out and took a swing against breast cancer! Thank you for coming out during your busy schedules!

We did have a few home runs come from these 19 teams. Ben Moyer from the Senators on Team Tucker Arensberg had two home runs and all of the following batters had one home run: Nick Meckley from Clear Channel, Mike Westerberg from the Penn State Cancer Institute, Allen Ponato from Team Rep. Marsico, and Jamie Bochniak from Highmark. Awesome!!
