On Saturday, the community took to the diamond at Faber Field to get a shot at hitting a few home runs in the first ever Game On Glen Rock softball home run derby.
The event organized by Game On Glen Rock, which recently had its website hacked, was aimed at continuing to raise money for the project that will cost over $1,000,000 to complete.
Here is how the eight participants in the derby finished:
