Youth Sports Day at Oriole Park
A great day was had by all who attended and represented Freedom Softball on June 1st at the Youth Sports Day at Oriole Park at Camden Yards The day started with many of our players walking the field, then we were presented with the Heavy Hitter award for having over 250 participants from our organization attend this fun event and to top it off Phoebe Jackson from the Bubble Gum Blast in our Grade 3-5 Division was chosen as the Fan of the Game.
Thanks to everyone who came out and were a part of this fun event and of course enjoyed seeing the Birds finish their sweep of the White Sox.
