When the Harrisburg Senators hit the field for their Sept. 3 season finale, team members were joined by a special group of young people: foster children in search of permanent adoptive placements.

A Sept. 3 article by Fox43 producer Jason Cowdell provided the following details about the Senators' efforts to call attention to the need for adoptive parents:

About 20 kids teamed up with the baseball players, who would play for them, and one child threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the game. The event is designed to bring awareness of child adoption in the state. Michelle Lobaugh, of Aspers, Adams County, adopted a child. She says its nice to have events like these to help children.

The event was hosted by Diakon Adoption and Foster Care.
