George and Company Enjoy Celebrity Softball Challenge

On Thursday evening at Victory Field in downtown Indianapolis, members of the Pacers, Fever, and Colts took part in the eighth annual Caroline Symmes Memorial Celebrity Softball Challenge.

Hosts Paul George and Robert Mathis represented their respective teams, with Mathis' Colts squad eventually pulling out the 7-3 win in front of a hearty crowd at the Vic.

The six-inning softball showcase raised money for the Indiana Children's Wish Fund, which helps grant wishes to children ages 3-18 who are suffering from life-threatening illnesses.

"It just puts in perspective that we do is a blessing," George said prior to the game.
