McDaniel also mentioned that Medlar Field at Lubrano Park (State College, Pa.) field personnel came over to him after the game and couldn't believe how clean the dugout was.

"They said it was cleaner after the game than when we arrived," McDaniel said. "That's a congratulations to you, the baseball team, and a thanks for all you do."

Superintendent Martha Hurda also recognized McDaniel's efforts throughout the year.

"It's important to recognize one of the hardest people I've ever worked with in you," said Hurda. "If there's ever a task that needs to be done, you either do it or you volunteer your wife Becky to do it. Thank you!"
