PHOTOS: Fallen Officer Christopher Matlosz Honored at BlueClaws Game

Team remembers officer with honor guard, police helicopter fly-by and more

The Lakewood BlueClaws this past Saturday honored one of that township's police officers, Christopher Matlosz, a Manchester resident who was killed while on-duty in January.

Before the game, an honor guard and N.J. State Police helicopter fly-over celebrated the officer, who was  while on-duty in January. Matlosz's fiancee, Kelly Walsifer, and brother, Adam Matlosz, tossed out the first pitches. 

Proceeds from T-shirt sales went to the Holding Onto Hope charity founded by Walsifer.
