The Anthracite Little League field in Nesquehoning has been a staple in the community for decades.

But once borough police moved into its new headquarters directly below the field, some problems arose.Foul balls caused damage to some of the officers' vehicles over the years, but a recent donation is hoping to resolve the issue once and for all.Roobhenn Smith, president of the Anthracite Little League said that the league worked with the borough to come up with a plan, which included four utility poles and netting to create a barrier between the police station and field.Blue Ridge Cable donated poles, while a donor, who Smith said would like to remain anonymous, gave the money for the netting."It's a safeguard for the police now," he said.John McArdle, representing Blue Ridge Cable and the Nesquehoning Hose Company, said Blue Ridge Cable also donated the crew to install the poles, while the fire company, including firefighters Trajan Koerbler and Joe Matula, assisted to install the netting."It was a collaborative effort," he said.Smith said the league is thankful for the donation, but stressed that without the community support that it has received over the years, whether it be monetary donations or volunteers, the league wouldn't be able to go on like it has."The goal is to provide for the kids, to teach them life lessons, teamwork, fair play and to do their best," he said. "We're a building block for the future and the strong community connection has helped that."
