ST. LOUIS (AP) — The president of a youth baseball charity being sued by the St. Louis Cardinals over alleged scalped tickets says it has used funds properly. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Nicholas Mahrt, president of the Lewis & Clark Baseball League disputed the baseball team’s allegations Tuesday, stating money involved in the ticket transactions was used for charity. Last week, the team filed a lawsuit against the nonprofit accusing it of breaching a contract and committing fraud by selling hundreds of tickets over face value.

The Leagues of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which runs the charity, last year was allotted 3,500 tickets at a discounted price through the team’s Cardinals Care program. The suit claims the charity sold tickets for high-demand games online, instead of selling them for up to face value in fundraisers to support youth baseball.

The lawsuit seeks to recover $40,475 in profits.
