Officers Robert Kotowski, who is the head of the police officer's union, said this event helped students get to know police personally.

"There is a person behind every uniform and very badge," said Kotowski, who came to the game with his wife and his newborn son.

Kotowski emphasized the hard work which officers put into policing the University.

"It's not an easy job," Kotowski said.

Several officers echoed Kotowski's remarks about the importance of brings students and officers together.

"Anytime you can bring together any police officer with the community they are policing...you will improve relations," said Officer Jack O'Kane, who played in the game. "It is worth four hours on a Saturday morning."

The police Department provided the athletic equipment and commemorative T-shirts. Crimson catering provided a buffet table, and the Athletic Department donated use of the field.

This reporter played third base in the game. Neither team could be declared winners, as the players lost count of the score.
