Over the weekend, 8 year old Grae O’Neal from Grayville took part in the St. Louis Cardinals Team Regional MLB Hit, Pitch, Run Competition at Busch Stadium. She earned the right by winning the local competition earlier this year in McCutchanville, IN. O’Neal’s performance earned her the Team Champion at Busch Stadium on Saturday in the 8U Softball Divison. For her performance, O’Neal got to throw out the first pitch prior to the Cardinals and Mets Game on Saturday.
With O’Neal’s success, she is now entered into the lottery drawing to participate in the MLB Run, Pitch, Hit World Series. That will take place during the MLB World Series in October.
Grae O’Neal is the daughter of Celeste O’Neal and Greg O’Neal of Grayville.
