SEWELL, New Jersey (WPVI) -- The Miracle League of Gloucester County gives athletes of all abilities a chance to play ball. And today, they got a chance to form special bonds with their high school buddies on the baseball field.

Students from Paul VI High School's baseball team filled the field along with players from the Main Street Nukes. They cheered on batters, helped out fielders, and inspired baserunners to reach home plate.
