Hundreds of youth league
baseball and soccer players were shocked to learn a shed that housed thousands
of dollars worth of their equipment was set alight, and burned to the ground
Saturday night.
It happened at Monro Park in
Warminster, Bucks
County.
Officials with the Warminster
Baseball Association and soccer club say at least $7,000 worth of items were
lost in the blaze including some baseball gear, soccer nets, and paint to mark
the fields.
A brand new lawnmower used
to keep the fields trimmed was also destroyed in the fire.
"We have to pay more money
to replace everything that they've already purchased," said Brandon Berndlmaier,
one of 700 Warminster young people that play on various teams within the
Association.
His dad Eric Berndlmaier is one
of the board members and says parents will have to foot the bill to replace the
equipment.
"The leagues collect a fee from
each player to play but you don't collect extra money to cover something like
this," he said.
They are hoping the public can
help with donations. In the meantime
Warminster fire officials are investigating for a cause, and are not calling it
suspicious at this time.
