Belton, TX – The University of Mary Hardin-Baylor softball team raised nearly $700 to help fund breast cancer research during the team’s “Strike Out Breast Cancer” campaign last weekend. The UMHB softball team donated all gate receipts from Saturday’s doubleheader against Our Lady of the Lake University to the Cancer Research Center at Scott & White Hospital. The Cru also sold pink t-shirts with the events logo and accepted donations for every strikeout in odd-numbered innings throughout the day. The event raised $671.53 in all and was part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
            Cancer survivors Donna Shipp and Darla Kirby threw out the ceremonial first pitches at the doubleheader. Shipp is the wife of UMHB Vice-President for Athletics Ben Shipp and Kirby is UMHB’s head women’s golf coach. Other breast cancer survivors were also honored during the event.
