HELLERTOWN, Pa. (CBS) - A softball little league is stepping up to the plate in a big way to help out their beloved coach.

Hellertown Lower Saucon Little League coach Andy Weaver is in need of a new wheelchair. The team says the one Weaver is currently using is "falling apart."

So, they decided to lend him a hand with the expenses. The team has organized a fundraising event to help "Coach Weeve" get new wheels.

Weaver has been coaching in the Eastern Lehigh Valley Softball League since 2013.

The fundraiser consists of a series of games open to all softball players. No experience is needed, just a glove.
