There is no cost to attend or participate in the 22nd annual Challenger Baseball Game, from 4-5:30 p.m. at Clark Field.

Developed in 1989, the Little League Challenger Division — sponsored by Washington Township’s Baseball-Softball Leagues and the Westwood Baseball Association — gives participating youngsters a truly level playing field, no matter what challenges they face.

And every one of them leaves the field a winner.

Refreshments will be available.

For more information or to sign up as a volunteer: Jamie Cipolla, (201) 906-7068 / jcipolla@api-structures.com or Kevin Stapleton, (201) 664-1861. Or simply show up.
