GAINESVILLE — A softball field is now dedicated to a 10-year-old girl who died in a freak accident.

On Saturday, the family and friends of Lydia Grace gathered at Catharpin Park near Gainesville to rename field number four in honor of the late child. During a storm in August, a tree fell on Lydia’s grandmother’s house in Fauquier County, landing in the child’s bedroom, killing her.
