WYOMING COUNTY, Pa. — An annual softball tournament took place in Wyoming County Sunday, but it was about more than winning.
This is the 9th year the Sober Sluggers have held the picnic and tournament at NAPA Field in Tunkhannock Township.
The tournament includes teams from drug and alcohol treatment organizations in six different counties.
Organizers say it helps those in recovery connect with each other and have fun.
"Being in recovery myself, this is something that I wanted to do to just have fun to show people in recovery. You can do more than just, you know, get sober. You can have fun, you can build friendships," said Catherine Briegel, Wyoming/Sullivan County Treatment Corp.
The event has grown from just a tournament into a family affair and fundraiser in Wyoming County.
