Jr. RBI players enjoy change of pace with Wiffle ball

CINCINNATI -- Baseball and softball turned into Wiffle ball on Saturday at the Jr. RBI Classic in Cincinnati.

Eight baseball and four softball teams comprised of players ages 11-12 had been scheduled to participate in a friendly tournament as part of All-Star Game festivities.
