Softball legend Cat Osterman will be on hand for a major milestone in the sport’s history next week, as she will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the first-ever “Athletes Unlimited Pro Games at the Little League Softball® World Series” event.
The double-header of AU games will be at East Carolina University’s softball stadium on Wednesday, August 9 beginning at 4:30 pm EST and will be aired live on ESPN2.
In addition to being the inaugural Athletes Unlimited Softball champion (2020) and a member of the organization’s Advisory Board, Osterman is also enshrined in the Little League Hall of Excellence.
Osterman will participate in a press conference at 12:00pm ET on August 9, along with current Athletes Unlimited Softball star Kathryn Sandercock and executives from Athletes Unlimited and Little League.
In the middle of its championship season, Athletes Unlimited will relocate its entire 60-player roster and staff from the Chicago area to the home of the Little League Softball World Series in Greenville, North Carolina.
Athletes Unlimited players will also take time on Aug. 8 to visit Stallings Stadium at Elm Street Park, the home of the Little League Softball World Series and interact with all 12 participating teams from around the world, providing each of them with a unique and memorable experience exclusive to this event.
All players and coaches competing in the Little League Softball World Series, as well as their families, will receive complimentary tickets to the AU Pro Games event on Aug. 9, and have additional opportunities to interact with the world’s best softball players before and after the games.
