Long Valley Baseball Field Vandalized by Joy Riders

Police asking for help with information from weekend incident.

The Babe Ruth League baseball field at Rock Spring Park was torn up by tire treads and marks over the weekend, postponing games and forcing the township to make immediate repairs.

The Department of Public Works and Washington Township Police Department were alerted to the field’s damage Monday when someone happened upon tire trucks dug into the infield dirt, outfield grass, and outside the fenced in baseball field.

Players were on the field as late as 4:30 p.m. Saturday and authorities believe the incident took place some time Saturday night or Sunday.
