Huntington’s police and fire departments squared off in a spirited softball showdown—part friendly rivalry, part community service. Tied to Marshall University’s September 11 Days of Service, the game raised funds for first responder mental health and collected food for local pantries, with all proceeds going to Compass, Huntington’s vital wellness program. Fire crews led the scoreboard, trash talk flew, and donations poured in—proving that honoring heroes doesn’t just happen on 9/11, but every day, through action, laughter, and community love.
