Adam Gerber, baseball coach and unofficial emcee of Saturday's poker tournament sponsored by Moorestown Youth Baseball, said last week he didn't want to guess how much the group would net from the fundraiser because it was their first try at it.

The group exceeded expectations, raising approximately $10,000 from the event, the "largest fundraising score in (Moorestown Youth Baseball) history," according to Gerber.
