CLEARWATER – Morton Plant Mease breast cancer survivors and Clearwater Threshers baseball players will “get in the pink” for the second annual Pitch for Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Night sponsored by Morton Plant Mease Health Care and the Clearwater Threshers. The event is a fundraiser for the Morton Plant Mease Foundation.

This year’s Pitch for Pink will be Friday, Aug. 10 during the Threshers game at Bright House Networks Field in Clearwater.

The evening’s festivities are as follows:

• 5:30 p.m. – Gates open. First 2,500 women receive a free commemorative pink beach bag or pink baseball cap

• 7 p.m. – Baseball game begins with Threshers players outfitted in pink jerseys

During the game, a silent auction will be held to auction off pink baseball bats autographed by players from the Philadelphia Phillies and Threshers, and pink jerseys worn by the players.
