CHESTER, Pa. - The Widener University softball team will host its annual Strike Out Cancer Game on Tuesday, April 2 when the Pride hosts Eastern. First pitch for the doubleheader is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

This year's Strike Out Cancer efforts will benefit Nicholas Esposito, a 2 1/2 year old who was diagnosed in October with neuroblastoma. Since October, Nicholas has battled with several rounds of chemo and radiation. He underwent surgery to remove the tumor in mid-March. His post-surgery prognosis is cautiously optimistic and he will continue with numerous treatment plans for the next year. Nicholas has a twin brother and sister who are 6 months old. As you can imagine, life is very hectic and challenging for his family. 

Widener Softball is thrilled to be a part of Nicholas' efforts and are ask you to join us and be part of our team to support Nicholas in his courageous fight!
