The league's president says the thieves stole gear and equipment out of the shed and used the baseball bats to vandalize the bathroom.
"What's going through my head right now is a little bit of anger. It's a volunteer organization and we do everything voluntarily through the community here," said Jimmy Magee, president of the Monroe Township Little League.
As police are investigating, Jessica Simpkins says she put a message out on social media about the damage and immediately saw the community come together.Simpkins says roughly $1,000 has already been raised for new equipment. "People want to help and they want to donate and they want to give and it's great. So something really bad turned into kind of good," said Simpkins, the vice president of softball for the little league team.
There are still a lot of broken pieces to pick up, but the team is thankful to the community for all of the support that they've shown.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
