Over-the-line baseball tournament fun for wheelchair players thanks to Triumph Foundation
Triumph Foundation held its over-the-line wheelchair baseball tournament on Saturday at the Barry A. Sanders Sports Field in Van Nuys.
The public was invited to watch and cheer on 12 teams of three players as they played on the field that has a specially designed rubberized surface for use by those in wheelchairs, walkers and people with unsteady gait.
The Triumph Foundation estimated that about 40 people with disabilities — children and adults, including veterans — were scheduled to participate in the modified baseball game. The game involved players hitting a ball over-the-line into a sectioned off area of the field.
