It was the battle of first responders on Sunday as the Erie Police Department took on the Erie Fire Department for the annual Guns N' Hoses game.


This friendly competition at UPMC Park always brings out friends, family, and community members to see who will win the softball game.

The game is presented by NAMI of Erie County and the goal is to promote mental health among first responders.

In addition to watching the game, people could also browse from vendors and tables with mental health resources.

Mayor Joe Schember threw out the first pitch.

All the proceeds benefit NAMI of Erie County.
