The Miracle Field located in Boyce Mayview Park, Upper St. Clair, PA, brings the game of baseball to children who may have never had the opportunity to play on a real field. It features a custom-designed field with a cushioned rubberized surface to help prevent injuries along with wheelchair accessible dugouts and flat surfaces to eliminate any barriers to wheelchair bound or visually impaired players.
Congratulations to all of the Miracle League of the South Hills participants, coaches, volunteers, Sean, Tim, Miranda and staff for such a successful weekend event in Cincinnati.
