Community Living Wallaceburg’s Wallaceburg Wolves will take on a team from Select Finishing at Kinsmen Park on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, in a season-ending baseball game dubbed the Grand Slam.
The Wolves faced heat and rain throughout the season but continued to show up each week with enthusiasm and team spirit, according to organizers, as players took turns at bat, ran the bases and built their skills together.
The ceremonial first pitch will be thrown at 4:30 p.m. by Rachel Van Dorsselaer in memory of her late husband, Aaron. CKXS morning show host Tanner will provide play-by-play commentary during the game. A free barbecue sponsored by Select Finishing will follow.
“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.
Allison Thain, Manager of Support Operations at CLW and one of the Wolves’ coaches, said the excitement of the game is contagious.
“There’s nothing like the excitement when a Wolf rounds the bases after a big hit — it’s contagious,” Thain said. “Whether you’re a player or a fan, everyone is part of the pack. Everyone is welcome!”
