'We Will Get Through This Together': Somerset Patriots

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — The TD Bank Ballpark, home of the Somerset Patriots, is beginning to dry out after Tropical Storm Ida completely flooded the area.

Somerset Patriots Co-Chairmen Jonathan and Josh Kalafer shared an update since the flooding.

"The Somerset Patriots organization, and the Kalafer family, have been truly touched by the outpouring of support and concern following Tropical Storm Ida’s unprecedented impact on our region. We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and devastation this storm has caused for so many.

We count our blessings that our families, and those of our team, are all safe. The floodwaters have receded and work is already underway getting our field ready to 'play ball' and finish the season.

We are inspired by our community’s strength and commitment to each other in the face of adversity. Just like baseball, it reminds us of who we are as Americans, and we have never been more proud to be Central Jersey’s home team.

As we've always done, we will get through this together."
