Friendly competition between Lethbridge police officers and fire responders will take place on Saturday, all for a good cause.
The Battle of the Badges softball game is about to go tomorrow night at Spitz Stadium.
The Lethbridge Police Service is hoping to keep their own four game winning streak going.
This is the first time the game has been played since 2019.
Proceeds raised will go to the Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation’s Southern District cardiac center campaign.
While the two agencies work side by side every day, they say there is still some room for a little friendly competition.
“Everything we’ve done up until now is setting up to win,” said Sgt. Jay McMillan of the Lethbridge police. “I don’t know if there is an alternative and if there is, I don’t want to explore that. So we got ready to win, have some fun and hopefully put on a good show for the people who come out.”
Gates open Saturday at 5pm, with the first pitch to be thrown at 7:05. There will also be a number of emergency vehicles on display and an opportunity to chat with fire responders.
Tickets are available on the Bulls baseball website.
