Upstate Baseball Will Hold Alumni Game On Nov. 1

Once again, the USC Upstate baseball team will take an afternoon to look back, as the 2009 team will face off against Spartan alumni in the annual Alumni Game on Sat., Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. at Harley Park.

“The alumni game is the only opportunity the current team has in the fall to play what could be considered outside competition,” 12th-year head coach Matt Fincher, the program’s all-time leader in wins, said, “so it breaks the monotony of intersquad games. More importantly, it does give us an opportunity to stay connected to our alumni. It gives the players that are in the program now an opportunity to meet and speak to players that have been here previously.

“It’s a primary way that we try to grow the program because we want people who’ve been here previously to stay connected. The alumni enjoy coming out once a year and playing and I think they like getting a sneak preview of what we might be like in the spring. Basically, we just get to be out playing baseball and have a very enjoyable day.” FULL STORY
