"You can see today the field is an adaptive field, obviously our kids have disabilities, so this gives them an opportunity to participate. The ball they have is a wiffle ball, it's a little bit softer, a little bit lighter. The bats are the same, small, a little bit lighter, so they're drills that kind of cater to them," said Chaka Sutton with Special Olympics Colorado.
