softballThe Armed Forces Retirement Home softball team, the Diamondbacks, has released its schedule for the season and is looking for people from the community who would like to join them.

Softball is another great way Friends of the Soldiers Home is offering to build connections between the Home and the community. This activity goes along with the three-times-monthly volunteer projects, golf program, garden project and community festivals we are already offering.

While the Home’s own softball field is still under construction, most of the games are played in the early evening at Catholic University. Call Coach Jerry Carter with any questions at 443-510-0756.

Here’s what the schedule looks like:

Thursday June 20 vs Motherduckers
Tuesday June 25 vs Providence Hospital
Wednesday July 10 vs Providence Hospital
Monday July 15 vs Library of Congress
Tuesday July 23 vs Department of Labor
Wednesday July 31 vs Children’s Medical Center
Wednesday Aug. 21 vs Library of Congress
Aug. TBA vs Motherduckers
Saturday Sept. 7 First game of league tournament
