The Grayslake Police Department will try to set the softball field on fire, but will the Fire Department smother their dreams by doing what they do best? Will Mayor Rhett Taylor be able to maintain order on the field as game official? Some of the more competitive members of the Grayslake Fire and Police departments will go head-to-head in an exhibition game during Foundation 46's Home Run for Education on September 14 at 3pm.
