Penn College welcomes the world on eve of Little League World Series

Penn College treated the 20 competing Little League Baseball World Series teams to an afternoon of food and fun before the teams headed to the Grand Slam Parade that stepped off just short walk away from main campus. Also appearing in the parade was a Penn College float, featuring the academic offerings at the Earth Science Center campus.

During the picnic, a final chance to unwind before games started, the teams relaxed, played yard games, and met Hall of Fame pitcher Billy Wagner and Vanderbilt University head coach Tim Corbin, who both provided encouraging words to the players and their coaches.

Making it all happen were staff and students from Le Jeune Chef Restaurant, several support offices, and a wealth of student and staff volunteers who welcomed the teams to campus and Little League fans to Williamsport.
