UNM Baseball Team to Scrimmage Against Lobo Alums
As part of Homecoming festivities, the University of New Mexico Lobo baseball team hosts a scrimmage game between current players and alums on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 1 p.m. at Isotopes Park. The game is free and open to the public.
Among those who have been invited are Senator Pete Domenici, class of ’54 and Rear Admiral (Ret.) James Hinkle, ’68. Alums who have organized the event include Larry Harrison, ’83, Kyle Rutledge, ’80, Ernie Blackstone, ’83, and Jeff Grady, ’05.
“The Lobo alums are important to our heritage and goal to build a solid program. We want them to share their friendships and commitment to be champions with our current players,” said Ray Birmingham, coach.
In his desire to build the Lobo baseball family, Coach Birmingham extends the invitation to the community at large. “We invite anyone who has ever chased a foul ball across a parking lot. Please join us and then we’ll all go across the street and watch the Lobo football team take on BYU,” he said.
