Vandals hit ball fields

Decatur Daily Democrat:

Adams County Crime Stoppers is asking for the public's help in solving acts of vandalism at the Monmouth baseball fields during the weekend of May 6-8.

Backstop nets were cut down, other nets were stretched and moved, a backstop was broken into pieces, and a pitcher's block was dented. Officials also said a batting cage frame was bent and the men's bathroom door was damaged when someone threw a large concrete block at it.

The fields are owned by the Root Township trustee and authorities noted that this is the third case of vandalism to the field and property in the past eight months.
