Batting for Bradford Wiffle Ball
Tournament is being organized
Ryan Bradford was a great softball fan -- and player! A Caesar Rodney High School student, he passed away last June at Children's Hospital, Philadelphia, PA.
SPECIAL OLYMPIAN. As a Special Olympian, he often practiced softball on the field next to Wesley College's DuPont Softball Field, Dover, DE, where the Wesley Wolverines practice and play their home games.
At times, the Special Olympians and our Wolverines have worked-out and played softball games together.
AVID SPORTS FAN/ PLAYER. Ryan was a big fan of Wesley Wolverine senior #9 P/OF Lily Engel (Dover, DE), for whom you could hear him cheering at college, travel-ball and high school games. His sister, Katelyn, a standout softball player herself, played fastpitch at PolyTech High with both Lily and Wesley Wolverine junior #4 MI/OF Samantha Burns (Magnolia, DE).
