PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Softball will host StrikeOut Cancer Weekend during this weekend's home series against Southern Illinois and a free youth clinic will follow Sunday's series finale against the Salukis.
Saturday's noon doubleheader against the Salukis at Petersen Hotels Field at the Louisville Slugger Sports Complex will kick off StrikeOut Cancer Weekend. Former Bradley Softball head coach Stefanie McAllister (1996-2001), who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer, will throw out a ceremonial first pitch prior to the doubleheader.
In addition, both Bradley and SIU will be wearing special warm up shirts featuring the names of loved ones who have battled cancer.
