MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) – A baseball field in Manitowoc has been damaged by fireworks that were lit on the diamond.
Burn marks are visible on the Miracle League of the Lakeshore’s Dewey Street Park in Manitowoc.
“Coaches and myself and parents have cleaned up the fireworks that were scattered across the outfield (for roughly 40 minutes before a game that was scheduled for Thursday). I have also tried to wipe away the black marks. I have to try another bout of it to see if we can get any more of it off.”
Laura Ziemer is the league’s commissioner and discusses how this might have happened.
“The only way they could have accessed it is going over the fence. It’s a locked gate.”
Ziemer has some positive news for players.
“We will be able to have all of our games and practices that happen. The park won’t have to be shut down for any reason.”
The league serves children, ages 4-19, with physical or intellectual disabilities.
