After the exhibition finished, the Monitors took the field against Dexter and Kalamazoo in a slightly confusing but fun three-team match.

There was pre-match music!

The local retirement community brought a small busload of its residents to enjoy the match. The Monitors, the gentlemen that they are, made sure they made it safely to their seats.

Prior to the match, there were two skills competitions. The first was a relay race around the bases; the second was a fly ball-catching contest.

Then the match started.

Will he beat the throw?

SAFE.

The retirement community group took a moment to pose for a photo with all three teams.
