Wow! I experienced my first Home Run Derby in Altoona on Tuesday and it was awesome! We had a lot of supporters come out to Blair County Ballpark and take a swing against breast cancer!

In all, we had 11 teams step up to the plate! That’s awesome!! The top team was Community State Bank of Orbisonia Team 2 with team members Brandon Sunderland, Scott Everhart, Scott Knepper, and Todd Cornelius! They had an unbeatable score of 1,455 points!

Scott Knepper from Community State Bank of Orbisonia Team 2 hit one out of the park and got the first Home Run Baseball of the 2009 season! Way to go Scott!

We also had another person hit a few baseballs over the outfield fence! Garry Wurm from C&G Savings Bank hit 5 home runs! Here he is pictured with the PA Association of Community Bankers team, who helped Garry hold his pink baseballs.

FROGGY 98 and ROCKY 104 came out to show their support as well! Earlier in the day, PBCC Director of Communications Sarah Lightman and Troy Campbell from Altoona First Savings Bank went into the Forever Broadcasting studios and sat down with a few morning shows to talk about the Derby. They certainly represented PBCC well!
