SALT LAKE CITY — Rep. Mia Love will take the field Wednesday in the annual congressional women's softball game to raise money for breast cancer awareness and the Young Survival Coalition.

The game comes a week after a gunman opened fire on the Republican men's baseball team during practice at a Virginia park, wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalese, R-La., and four others. The team was preparing for the annual charity game against the Democrats. The game was played at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., last Thursday without incident.

The shooting rattled Love, R-Utah, but she said last week that it wouldn't stop her from attending the men's game or playing in the women's game. Love said she pitches and plays second base.

On Wednesday, Love will play in honor of Utah breast cancer survivor Lindsay Nunez, who was diagnosed days after learning she was pregnant. Nunez had no family history of breast cancer and was healthy at the time. She is now in remission and the mother of a healthy baby boy, according to Love's office.

The bipartisan women’s softball team plays the women of the Washington, D.C., press corps. The event has raised over $900,000 for the Young Survival Coalition since it started in 2009.
