Major League Supporters in Williamsport!

The pink squad rolled into Williamsport prepared for a day of fun at Historic Bowman Field! The day started off with a few interviews for Executive Director Heather Hibshman. The folks over at Variety 97.7 FM asked a few quick questions and played the interview for all of Williamsport to hear. A few volunteers showed up because they heard we needed some outfield shaggers! Awesome! Then WOLNews.com came to the field and got some insight into the Home Run Derby. Check out Heather's interview!!



A total of eight teams came out to Historic Bowman Field! Each team brought spectators who filled the stands and watched as batters took their swings against breast cancer. Here is the complete list of teams scores:

Team Senator Eugene Yaw - 1,880 points
City of Williamsport Team - 1,510 points
Team Representative Richard Mirabito - 1,240 points
Team Variety 97.7 FM - 1,220 points
Representative Garth Everett/Blaise Alexander Dealerships Team - 1,050 points
Woodlands Bank - 850 points
Williamsport Sun-Gazette - 775 points
Mad Cow Girls - 605 points

A few heavy hitters were a part of these elite eight teams. On the City of Williamsport Team, the Mayor, Fire Chief, Police Chief, and the Streets & Parks Manager came out to show their support! Rep. Mirabito brought out four little leaguers to take some swings. They did a great job coming in third! Rep. Everett/Blaise Alexander Dealerships brought retired New York Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina to the plate. Mr. Mussina posed with the PBCC staff!

There were a few batters that hit a few out of the park for breast cancer! From Team Senator Eugene Yaw, Frank D'Agostino hit 5 home runs and Jeff Miller hit 2! From the City of Williamsport Team, Fire Chief Tom Cillo knocked one out! This resulted in a $100 donation from Deputy Fire Chief Irv Gleason. Gleason challenged the Chief to hit a homer, and in return Gleason would donate $100 for each one! Awesome challenge Irv!

WNEP came out to Bowman Field to check out the Derby. Reporter Jim Hamill spoke with Heather and also Dee Hoffman from the Mad Cow Girls. Dee is a seven year survivor and in her conversation with Jim she said "It's a privilege to be alive today. And everything I do is in hopes some other woman doesn't have to go through what I had to go through." Check out the entire story on WNEP's website. I'm trying to get the video because it's awesome!

Check out all of the Williamsport Home Run Derby photos! They are great!!

That is all for now!
