The free baseball and softball event— geared toward ages 5-12 — will now take place before Stillman's baseball game against Brewton-Parker College and its softball's games against Mobile, which are scheduled for new noon on the make-up date.

Prior baseball or softball experience is not required, nor is having the necessary equipment. Participants are simply asked to wear comfortable, athletic clothing and shoes. Participants will also receive a Play Ball T-shirt, wristband and bat and ball to take home.

Registration will begin on site at 9:45 a.m. the day of the event, while pre-registration is currently available online by clicking here.

Launched in June 2015, MLB Play Ball aims to encourage widespread participation in all forms of softball and baseball activities.
