FISHTOWN - A major blow for a kids’ baseball team in Fishtown when their gear – bats, gloves, balls – were all stolen.A perfect day to get in a little practice for players from Saint Laurentius in Fishtown.
The middle schoolers actually instrumental in getting a baseball team going for the year."They said there hasn’t been a team in seven years and the only way they’d be able to get a team was if they found someone to volunteer and coach," St.
Laurentius gym teacher and baseball coach, Daulton Miller, said.Miller decided why not, and he was able to get some equipment donated, getting the ball rolling.
The players were psyched."It’s my number one sport. I love baseball. Every day, all day, that’s all I do," 8th grader Jess Tomczack stated.But, last week, the team faced a huge setback.
