NWA Miracle League

Saturday was opening day for the NWA Miracle League!!!

Miracle League is a baseball league for special needs kids. Each child is paired up with a buddy, everyone gets a hit, and it's always a tied ballgame...."it's more than just baseball". They play on a special field made of rubber and it's painted to look like a baseball field. To learn more about Miracle League click here.
For opening day, the Razorback baseball team, Razorback Diamond Dolls, Rotary Club, and Ecclesia Baseball team came out to volunteer and support all the players. Strike, the mascot for the Naturals, was also there to cheer on everyone!
