Among the festivities include a golf outing on Friday, Oct. 21 at the University Club as well as the Alumni Game on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Sarge Frye Field. First pitch for this year’s Alumni Game is set for 10 a.m. with batting practice running from 9-9:45 a.m. There will be a brief introduction of former players and support staff before the game.
