Take the Riverdale Ridge High School baseball team, add in unified athletes from around the 27J School District and the result is the Ravens' first heroes game May 6 in Thornton.
The two squads played three innings on the Ravens' diamond. The game came complete with beach balls, oversized bats, plenty of base hits. a lot of runs and chances to record outs by throwing balls -- softly -- at batter-runners.
