Senior Softball-USA visits Reno for 35th year straight

Senior softball hits the proves to be more than a hobby for some. Nearly 200 teams from across the country travel to Northern Nevada to play in the annual Rock N' Reno Challenge Cup. Among the competitors suiting up is retired ball player, John Crane.

Since eighteen-years-old, Crane spent a majority of his free time on the softball diamond.

Although he may not be on the dirt, Crane gets to watch his two sons play.
