Hundreds of Softball Players Will Parade Through Friday After 5 in Owensboro

Last week, hundreds of youth baseball players were in town for USSSA 3 Up 3 Down Tournament and they marched through Friday After 5 in downtown Owensboro. This week, those baseball players are being replaced by hundreds of fast-pitch softball players! The parade festivities are hosted by WFIE’s Shaelie Clark, Tanner Holbrook & Byron Douglas.
