Columbia, S.C. – Over 84 former players, coaches and support staff from the University of South Carolina baseball program will return to Columbia, S.C. this week for Alumni Weekend. Among the festivities include a golf outing on Friday, Oc. 24 at “The Woodlands,” as well as the Alumni Game on Saturday, Oct. 25. First pitch at Sarge Frye Field is set for 1 pm with admission free of charge. There will be a brief introduction of former players and support staff before the game as well.
Chairback seats are no longer located at the ballpark, so fans attending the Alumni Game are encouraged to bring their own seats.
The former baseball players will also receive a tour of the new baseball stadium on Saturday morning before heading to “The Sarge” for Saturday afternoon’s game.
