All-Star Saturday another success!

The Manheim Church League's second All-Star Saturday on June 29 featured top players from the league competiting in two nine-inning all-star games. A Home Run Derby was sandwiched between the two games, with Newport Dove Blue's Ethan Sensenig winning the event. Dan Wiederrecht of Salem took second after a hit-off with Erb Mennonite Gold's Landon Stoner decided the runner-up.

Once again, food trucks were on hand during the games and derby, with $8,400 collected, which is being split between Manheim missions Teen Central and The Home on Ferdinand. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this day successful and to those who turned out to help celebrate our league!
