A softball game, which will also feature two associate members of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League, will be played Thursday during the Bentonville Film Festival, held in Bentonville, Ark.

Gina Casey and Alice Fracasso, sisters who both scouted for membership in the league that ran from 1943 through 1954 are now 85 and 90 respectively, according to Ramascreen.com.

Fracasso was drafted.

Casey and Fracasso played for the Riverside Townies, a minor league team for the AAGPCL in Rhode Island, from 1944 to 1945, The Grand Lake News reported.

Davis founded the festival to spotlight female and minority filmmakers.

Davis and O'Donnell reportedly will be managers for the teams.
