NPC sends four people to first Metropolitan Media Softball League all-star game

The National Press Club will have four representatives in the first-ever Metropolitan Media Softball League all-star game July 7 at Layhill Park.

Michael Young and Membership Director Sarahanne Driggs will play for the all-star squad representing print publications and national media, against a team comprised of employees of broadcast and cable networks.

Former NPC President Jonathan Salant, the founder and first coach of the club's co-ed softball team, will manage the squad, while another club member, Ken Giglio, will coach.

The game will take place a week before the league's playoffs, which the Press Club softball team is trying to make once again. Each of the 16 media teams will send two players to the game, selected by the squads' managers. The Press Club, trying to defend its Layhill Division title, trails by one game with two weeks remaining in the regular season.
