HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) --On April 21, Marshall University Softball would like to invite you and your Little Leaguers to attend "Little League Softball Day."

The doubleheader will be held at Dot Hicks Field at 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm, when the Thundering Herd takes on the Lancers of Longwood University.

On this day, young athletes of all ages will get to experience the game of softball at its finest. They will have the complete game experience from warm-ups to the game-ending play.

Little League Softball Day is designed to promote what participating in Little League Softball can potentially lead to. It will also provide a generous amount of exposure to the participating colleges and universities. This event could lead to an on-going relationship between the local collegiate programs and their surrounding Little Leagues.

On Game-day:
• The Little League players, parents and coaches can attend the game at no charge. Little League players are required to wear their uniform shirt and should have their Little League Official patch sewn onto the left shoulder of their uniform shirt in order to be identified for admission.
• Tour the Marshall Softball Locker Room
• National Anthem Buddies
• Team Poster giveaway (while supplies last)
• Poster Creation Station
• Softball Bingo
• Trivia
• T-shirt Toss
• Junior Announcer
• Kids Run the Bases
• After the game, Marshall Softball invites the Little League players to interact with the team, ask questions, and receive autographs. (This session will be limited to approximately 30 to 45 minutes.)
