Gabriel Lozada - who plays baseball for both Lansingburgh and Melvin Roads American Legion - recently visited family in the Dominican Republic but his trip was much more than just a simple social call.

The Melvin Roads program donated used equipment for Lozado to bring with him on the trip and the 'Burgh native passed it all along to kids who are learning the game of baseball.

Lozado sent back this photo from his trip, saying in an e-mail, "The donation went well."
