Press release
Batavia, NY- In their continued effort to make an impact in the community, the Batavia
Muckdogs have teamed up with the Challenger Division Baseball League to host a game at Dwyer
Stadium on Saturday, June 19th at 1 PM.
Challenger Baseball is a community program sponsored by the YMCA and Arc of Genesee Orleans that provides children in the area with disabilities the opportunity to play organized baseball. With the generous support of volunteers trained in disability awareness and sensitivity, these athletes who range from ages 5-21 can have the unique opportunity to play the sports they love.
Players, coaches, and other Muckdog personnel will be on the field assisting the game that
will be free to season ticket holders and other fans in attendance. Later in the afternoon, the
Jamestown Tarp Skunks will come into town to play the Muckdogs, with the start time of the
PGCBL show-down still to be determined.
The rest of the Challenger Divison Baseball League games will be played at nearby MacArthur
Park and hosted by Batavia Youth Baseball. They are very excited to have such a special event held at
Dwyer Stadium and hope to see the community out to support them.
