NORTH PLATTE, NEB - A friendly but competitive fundraiser softball game is coming up between the North Platte Softball team vs the FNBO First National Legion Baseball team in a battle of the bats. Teammates Mentoring is a nonprofit organization that's mission is to positively impact the world by inspiring students to reach their full potential through mentoring. The proceeds of this event go to Teammates Mentoring. It's the 5th Annual Rumble by the River to battle between the boys legion baseball team and girls' softball team. "About 6 years ago my daughter was a softball player and there was a lot of banter back and forth between the boys and girl’s teams and I thought what a better way to raise money for Teammates is to have a game," said Molly Morales.
Ricky Holm, who is the FNBO Nationals Legion baseball coach, was apart of this event two years ago during his first year as head coach. "I know we did this two years ago in my first-year coach and it was a lot of fun," said FNBO Nationals Coach Ricky Holm. "Were getting out there for a good cause and competing against fellow classmates."
The event is July 30th at 6pm at the Dowhower softball Complex. Admission is $5 at the gates. FNBO Bank will be at the ballpark grilling food. There is also raffle tickets being offered with awesome prizes. For more information and a more in-depth insight into the event, click the podcast above.
