Community Living Wallaceburg’s Wallaceburg Wolves Baseball Team will take on Team Select Finishing in the end-of-season Aaron Van Dorsselaer Grand Slam on Friday, Sept. 12, at Kinsmen Park.
Despite interruptions from heat and rain this season, the Wolves have shown up week after week with enthusiasm, enjoying the game, taking turns at bat, running the bases, building their skills and sharing in camaraderie. Employees and administration from Select Finishing will step up to face the Wolves in the season finale.
In memory of her late husband Aaron, Rachel Van Dorsselaer will throw out the first pitch promptly at 5 p.m., while CKXS morning show host Tanner will provide commentary during the game. A free barbecue will follow, made possible by the generosity of sponsors Wallaceburg Sports Hall of Fame and Select Finishing.
“Select Finishing continues to be strong supporters of the amazing work at Community Living Wallaceburg, and our team is excited to both participate in the Grand Slam and help host the BBQ,” said Dale Brown, coordinator of HR at Select Finishing.
“There’s nothing like the excitement when a Wolf rounds the bases after a big hit—it’s contagious. Whether you’re a player or a fan, everyone is part of the pack. Everyone is welcome!” said Allison Thain, manager of support operations at CLW and one of the team’s coaches.
Community Living Wallaceburg and the Wolves are inviting the public to come out, cheer on both teams and enjoy the fellowship at the BBQ. Officials also extended thanks to the Wallaceburg Sports Hall of Fame for sponsoring the 2025 season.
