Academy of Innovation principal Melissa Rouse was the beneficiary of the Warren Central Spooktacular Softball Game held on Oct. 17. Rouse, center, recently had surgery to treat a brain tumor. The softball game raised $500 to help with her expenses.

The annual Spooktacular Softball Game features Warren Central’s baseball and softball teams playing a slow-pitch game while wearing Halloween costumes. Proceeds from the game go to either a charity or someone in the community who is dealing with an illness.
