Yardley Post 317 catcher Doug Fleming has been selected to compete in the Pennsylvania American Legion Baseball East West Showcase game that’s taking place at 6 p.m. Sunday, July 26 at the Commerce Bank Park in Harrisburg.
A recent graduate of Penn Charter High School from Hulmeville, this is Doug’s third consecutive appearance in the contest.
In his team’s Lower Bucks Legion playoff opener against Bristol, Fleming worked a full count and drew a walk with the bases loaded to give Post 317 the lead for good at 3-2 in a game that Western eventually went on to win 6-5.
Fleming also pushed a run across in Western’s semifinal opening 15-7 win over Yardley-Morrisville and the team’s series clinching 4-3 triumph.
