The Central Michigan softball team held its annual “Pink Out” game Saturday during its doubleheader against Toledo, in which the Chippewas won both games by mercy rule, 12-3 and 9-1.

The team usually wears its white and pink uniforms and a white and pink ribbon is spray painted in the outfield for the game. In addition, students from PES 550: Sports Fundraising teamed up with the softball team in hopes of raising $5,000 for the National Research Cancer Foundation.
