The Miracle League of Wilmington offering free 2023 baseball season to athletes

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — It’s almost time to ‘play ball’ at a local field.

The Miracle League of Wilmington welcomes baseball back to the Miracle Field at Olsen Park on February 25th.

2023 marks the 10th anniversary of the Miracle Field.

“We are so thankful for the New Hanover Community Endowment,” said John Smist, Executive Director of ACCESS of Wilmington, the operators of the Miracle League. “Because of the endowment we are able to eliminate another barrier to community, health and fitness to our participants.”
