(West Mayfield, PA) A Beaver County youth baseball organization is asking for help after someone broke into its concession stand and stole money.
Matt Niedbala said organizers are now working to repair the damage caused during Friday’s burglary.
“The door was broken, so we have to repair that. It’s pretty devastating,” Niedbala said.
While the door can be replaced, organizers say replacing the stolen cash box — which contained about $400 to $500 — will be more difficult for the group at West Mayfield Community Park.
Proceeds from the concession stand support the youth baseball organization and its 60 players. The money has helped pay for new batting cages, field improvements and umpire fees.
Niedbala said the thief broke off the door handle and drilled a hole above the lock to get inside and access the cash box.
There were no security cameras inside the concession stand at the time of the burglary, but organizers said they plan to install cameras following the incident.
Police said the investigation is ongoing.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jesús Rodríguez hit an RBI single in the 12th inning and the San Francisco Giants rallied from a pair of two-run deficits to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-6 on Sunday.
The Giants loaded the bases against Justin Lawrence (0-2) when Matt Chapman hit a double that only advanced automatic runner Heliot Ramos to third, and Drew Gilbert was intentionally walked.
Rodríguez followed with a single to right to give the struggling Giants just their third win in the last 12 games.
The teams traded two-run innings in the 10th, with Spencer Horwitz hitting a two-run double in the top half to give Pittsburgh the lead and Willy Adames answering with a two-run single with two outs in the bottom half to tie the game at 6.
Ryan Borucki (1-1) escaped a first-and-third, no-out jam in the 11th and a bases-loaded jam in the 12th to earn the win.
Ramos hit a solo homer and RBI double for the Giants.
Oneil Cruz and Konnor Griffin homered for the Pirates, who went 3-3 on their road trip against Arizona and San Francisco. Cruz also stole a base in the first, giving him 10 homers and 15 stolen bases in 39 games played. He joined Eric Davis (1987) and Lou Brock (1967) as the only players to reach those marks in fewer than 40 games played in a season.
The Giants fell behind 4-2 but rallied against Isaac Mattson to tie the game in the sixth on RBI doubles by Ramos and Chapman.
The Pirates return home Tuesday to start a series against Colorado, with ace Paul Skenes (5-2, 2.36 ERA) set to start against RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-4, 6.92).
The Giants open a four-game series at Los Angeles with RHP Trevor McDonald (1-0, 1.29 ERA) facing Dodgers RHP Roki Sasaki (1-3, 5.97).
