PITTSBURGH -- The Pirates participated in the Honorary Bat Girl program along with the rest of Major League Baseball on Sunday by honoring national candidate Dana Gorajewski and local candidate Jocelyn Blystone in a pregame on-field ceremony.
The program was created in 2009 in order to provide additional support and awareness for the annual "Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer" initiative commemorated every Mother's Day. It recognizes baseball fans who have been impacted by breast cancer and have displayed their commitment to defeating the disease.
After being cleared with a mammogram three months earlier, Gorajewski was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer on Apr.
