Batter-up Buddy Ball is an Exceptional Children’s baseball league designed for mentally and physically challenged children ages 3-25 in Wilson County (and surrounding counties).  The Wilson County Youth Athletic Association (WCYAA), headed by Mickey Davis, runs this program.  Each child is paired with a volunteer “buddy” who helps them bat, run the bases, and also talks with them and cheers them on.  Buddy Ball has both a spring and fall season and takes place on Saturdays in Lucama.  Thanks to generous sponsors and donations there is no charge for playing in this league and each child will be provided with a complete uniform.  Our Omega Sports store in Wilson has sponsored a race called the “Whirli-run” the past two years which has helped raise $11,500.00 for Batter-up Buddy Ball.  In addition, Omega Sports in Wilson along with BB&T have helped this cause with donations of baseball cleats.
