About Us
First Inning works to expand access to baseball that is often unattainable to economically underprivileged youth and adult players in Cambodia. Through our fiscal sponsorship collaboration with Cambodia Town Lowell (MA), Inc. and our partners in Cambodia, we seek to open doorways for personal growth and opportunity through baseball while honoring and highlighting Khmer culture and history.
