Fleming headed to East West game

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.
