Senator Helming to Sponsor Upcoming Newark Pilots Game

GENEVA – Senator Pam Helming today announced that she will host Senator Helming Night at Colburn Park for the second year in a row. This special event will take place as the hometown Newark Pilots take on the Elmira Pioneers. The Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League game will start at 7:05 p.m. Thursday, July 19, and the park is located at 1160 E. Union St. in Newark.

“I appreciate the opportunity from the Newark Pilots to once again sponsor a game at Colburn Park, and I look forward to cheering on one of our local teams in the Wayne-Finger Lakes region. Last year, I had the privilege of honoring recent Newark High School graduate Ben Cowles with a New York State Senate Proclamation recognizing him for being named Finger Lakes East Player of the year. Now, Ben is playing for the Pilots this season as he prepares to head to the University of Maryland, where he will play Division I baseball. It will be terrific to reconnect with Ben and his family, and it is always great to see Bob and Leslie Ohmann and Mayor Jonathan Taylor and thank them for everything they do for our communities. I encourage everyone to come out to the game and enjoy a family-friendly night of free fun and entertainment,” Senator Helming said.

As part of Senator Helming’s sponsorship of the game, free tickets will be available for those who attend the game. These tickets can be picked up at Senator Helming’s District Office in advance or claimed at the gate on the day of the game. To reserve tickets for groups, please call Senator Helming’s District Office at (315) 568-9816 or stop by at 425 Exchange St. in Geneva. She encourages people to come out to support these college-level baseball players.
