IWA Varsity Baseball Team Buddies Up

The Incarnate Word Academy varsity baseball team buddied-up with Padre Little League Challenger Division players for baseball at Evelyn Price Park.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – The Incarnate Word Academy varsity baseball team helped children with physical and mental challenges play ball on April 2 at Evelyn Price Park. The special-needs baseball players belong to Padre Little League Challenger Division.

Established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League, the Padre Little League Challenger Division gives boys and girls a chance to enjoy the game of baseball.

The IWA team supported each player as a buddy. The buddies assisted each player on the field and encouraged players to bat and make plays for themselves.

"The IWA Varsity Baseball Team’s dedication to the community is a perfect example of how IWA students respect the worth of every person and for life in all its forms," IWA Academy spokesperson Dominique Damian said.
