Get ready for two days of hometown heroes going head to head for a great cause. Battle of the Diamond brings local firefighters and first responders to the field against law enforcement in a spirited softball showdown, all to raise funds for Shriners Children's and local charities.
The real stars of the weekend are our Shrine kids. Special teams are formed just for them, with firefighters and officers stepping in to help at bat, on the bases, and in the field — making sure every child gets to play ball like everyone else and feel the cheers of the crowd.
Bring the whole family out for Home Run Derby night, cheer on your favorite team in the tournament, and help us show that our community shows up for its kids.
