Brandywine Softball Team Volunteers With Media Youth League

MEDIA, Pennsylvania -- The Penn State Brandywine softball team took a break from fall ball practice on Wednesday to volunteer its time with the Media Youth Softball Organization.

Eight Brandywine student-athletes and Head Coach Mark Caserta helped to put on the clinic, which was attended by 51 local softball players, ages 8-14. Coaches and athletes broke up into groups and worked on hitting and fielding for two hours under the lights at Barrell Field in Media.

"We had a great time working with the younger kids from the Media Youth League," said Caserta, the 2015 PSUAC Coach of the Year. "It's fun to get out there, not only for the kids, but for me and our players, too."

Brandywine, which won the 2015 PSUAC championship, is in the midst of its fall practice season. The Lions will play a pair of exhibition games at Alvenia on Sept. 26 against the host Crusaders and Immaculata University.
