It is with great pleasure and appreciation that we announce that the University of Maryland Medical Center donated a portable defibrillator (known as an AED) to the Pikesville Men's Softball League. The AED, which can be a lifesaving tool when someone goes into cardiac arrest, will be available during all league games that take place during the season, which runs all spring and summer at Northwest Regional Park in Owings Mills, Maryland. The league consists of 8 teams (approximately 100 players) playing in a competitive modified-pitch league, with players ranging in age from 18-62. The Medtronic Lifepak AED unit was purchased by the University of Medical Center from Chesapeake AED Services at a significant discount.
