“We lost our hose. We have a kind of industrial hose and a cart that we used to water down the infield, so that was taken,” he said. “We had a bunch of power tools, a bunch of hand tools, all totaling about $5,000.”

The regular season for the kids is over, but Kohorst says there's a summer season underway with games scheduled at the park this week.
“Losing about $5,000 worth of equipment is pretty devastating,” he said.
A police report was filed.
