In recent years, the Salisbury baseball team was a part of the Midnight Baseball tournament that benefited the Miracle League of Northampton County.

Despite not gaining enough interest across the area to keep that tradition alive, that didn't stop the Falcons from doing their part to stay involved with the Miracle League.

Last Saturday, July 26 at Easton's Hackett Park, the Falcons held their Salisbury Charity Game in which all proceeds went toward Northampton County's Miracle League.

"There just wasn't enough interest for a whole tournament, so they asked me if I could get two teams together," said Steve Wagner, head coach of the White Team. "I asked a bunch of Salisbury baseball players, and we had enough for two teams.

"This is the first time we did a Salisbury game. We usually do the tournament, and there wasn't a tournament this year."

In all, 20 Falcons took part in the event a week and a half ago.

Not only did a number of current Salisbury players show off their skills, but recent graduates and incoming high-schoolers also had the opportunity to play together on the same field. One 2013 graduate, Moravian's Nic Ampietro, also played in the game.

Led by Wagner, the White Team got a bit of a surprise from one of its youngest participants.

Incoming-freshman Andrew Sukanic pitched five scoreless innings for the White Team, allowing just one hit to Tyler Tocci's Navy Team. That's all the White Team would need, as six runs through five innings led to an 11-2 victory for White.

"He will be a freshman next year," Wagner said. "That was the biggest standout because he was like an unknown … He got varsity players out."

Justin Besz, an incoming-senior who will play for the Falcons next year, recorded four RBIs in the win for White. Michael Palmer, who recorded the only hit off Sukanik, CJ Tocci and Chris Bishop will be seniors next year, too.

Justin Aungst and Brad Vangeli were the lone graduates from last year's team that played in the game.

"Some kids definitely enjoy facing kids that they're friends with and they go to school with," Wagner said. "The only time they've seen them pitch is in a bullpen at practice. So a lot of kids enjoyed hitting off of kids they knew."

In addition to playing in the game that benefits the charity, the team spends a Saturday every season volunteering with the Miracle League of Northampton County.

"We asked for donations, and anything with the concessions and stuff all went to the Miracle League in Northampton County," Wagner said.
