Tuesday, August 20, 2024
A Pennsylvania College of Technology employee “getting the experience of a lifetime” was the subject of a WNEP-TV report Tuesday evening.
Zachary Gump, senior program manager of commercial buildings for the college’s Clean Energy Center, is one of 16 individuals from around the globe chosen to umpire at the Little League Baseball World Series, taking place in South Williamsport through Sunday.
WNEP’s Mackenzie Aucker interviewed Gump, who shared another joy he is celebrating – the birth of a baby boy that happened to coincide with tournament time.
The 18-year umpire also discussed his favorite part of being an umpire – mentoring the young players.
