PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies honored breast-cancer survivor and longtime fan Roni Storti as the team's Honorary Bat Girl on Sunday before their game against the Mets. The tribute was part of MLB's annual Mother's Day "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer" campaign.
Storti, a native of Trappe, Penn., was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. She is now cancer-free but hasn't distanced herself from the disease, working to raise awareness and funds to find a cure. She has participated in events for the American Cancer Society, Unite for Her and Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure.
