GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay women's softball team has decided to make its game day this Saturday against Butler, Breast Cancer Awareness Day. This idea revolves around Phoenix softball player Andi Pigeon, who lost her mother to breast cancer six years ago.

Pigeon's teammates wanted to help her honor the memory of her mother as well as raise awareness about the disease. Both teams will be wearing pink warm-up t-shirts as well as sporting pink accessories (wristbands, hair ribbons, shoelaces, etc.) during the game.

The first game is set for 1 p.m., with the second half of the double header slated to start at 3 p.m. The teams will meet again Sunday at 11 a.m. All games will be played at UW-Green Bay.
