"ASA-Midwest members and industry partners enjoyed this opportunity to socialize and network outside of a business setting to help strengthen relationships," said Sheri Hamilton, executive director of the association.

Nearly 100 industry professionals attended the second annual tailgate, which featured burgers, hot dogs and bratwursts as well as a margarita machine. The tailgate was sponsored by Advanced Auto Parts. 

The game resulted in a 16-5 victory for the home team. "Together, we cheered the Kansas City Royals on to a victory," Hamilton said.
