Competing with the cops

FARRELL – Farrell residents on Tuesday were clobbering their police – in a friendly softball game.

By the fourth inning, the residents were crushing law enforcement 14 to 2 during the annual matchup on National Night Out.

National Night Out is an annual celebration, held across the country on the first Tuesday in August. It’s a night meant to promote communities and strengthen relationships between residents and their public safety departments.

This year, the top priority for both the police and community groups was getting a handle on the heroin epidemic that is straining public resources in almost every community in the county.
