MOOSIC, Pa. — The summer heat is about to rise a few degrees higher in Lackawanna County.
On Saturday, June 21, the 2025 Field of Dreams All-Star Game returns to PNC Field, putting a spotlight on the region’s best senior baseball talent and reigniting school rivalries under the lights of a professional ballpark.
First pitch is locked in for 12 p.m. Gates open at 11. Entry? Just $5. But the stakes run deeper than baseball. All proceeds go straight to the Bill Howerton Strike Out Cancer Initiative, blending high-level talent with a higher purpose.
Two Teams. One Legacy. Pure Competition.
This isn’t just a senior sendoff. It’s a collision of tradition and pride.
The game pays homage to the pro clubs that have called PNC Field home for decades. The Bombers, repping the current tenant New York Yankees, will clash with the Fightins, honoring the original residents—the Philadelphia Phillies. And with 19 schools represented and rosters loaded with firepower, there’s zero chance this turns into a casual affair.
BOMBERS ROSTER
FIGHTINS ROSTER
No Glorified Exhibition Here
Each player was handpicked—nominated by their coach, voted in by league peers. That’s credibility. That’s respect. And that’s why this game always delivers.
Add in two long-tenured coaches in DiMattia and Menichetti at the helm, and this showdown has all the ingredients of a June classic. The rivalries are real. The energy is rising. And the mission behind the game adds a powerful meaning to every inning.
The Final Word
Don’t let the “all-star” tag fool you—this is competition. This is pride. This is 2025’s final word for a class of players who left it all on the diamond. With community support, cancer awareness, and baseball brilliance all packed into one event, PNC Field is about to host more than just a game.
Mark the date. Fill the stands. Get ready for a full-count finish to the high school baseball season, and SportzWire will be there for all of it!
