FYBSA event organizer Bob Julio said, "this is going to be a great ball game, and it also going to be a great community builder. These young boys and girls will be playing for a great cause. The feedback from the players and the community has been tremendous. My biggest problem so far is trying to figure out who will play the midnight game! Everybody seems to want to play at midnight!"
