A Western Pennsylvania Little League team's equipment was torched in an intentional fire, according to local police.
“It’s terrible. I mean, I got so angry I got tears in my eyes, I am right now ... why would you do this to our kids?,” said

The fire torched all of the Latrobe team's equipment needed to start its upcoming season.
“We had a portable pitching mound. Those aren’t cheap, they’re expensive. We had 2 L-screens in there, we had pillow bags for soaking up the field, (the) bases themselves,” Russo said.
