Wegmans, the reigning champion, will face Bayer in a seven-inning contest for this year's winning trophy.

The Hanover Township business neighbors each will donate $5,000 to the Interfaith Food Pantry, (IFP). Proceeds from the sale of 50/50's, hot dogs, and beverages will go to the IFP.

The non-profit organization, which is located in Parsippany, works to feed financially struggling families throughout Morris County.

In addition to the game, kids will get a chance to learn the physics behind a baseball pitch by doing their own catapult launch at the Bayer, Making Science Make Sense booth.

The event will end on a high note with a concert by The Shots with the Bergen County Firefighters Bagpipes.
