INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - Fans attending the Indianapolis Indians game Tuesday night can get a free cancer screening along with some baseball.

IU Health and the Indians are working together to offer free oral, head and neck cancer screenings at Tuesday night’s game against the Louisville Bats.

From 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., physicians will examine fans for abnormalities. The doctors are volunteers from the IU Simon Cancer Center, IU School of Medicine Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, and the Indiana Chapter of the Head and Neck Cancer Alliance.

The doctors will be at Victory Field’s centerfield, just inside the main gate at West and Maryland streets.

A two-year tonsil cancer survivor, 51-year-old Jim Owens, will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the game.
