You’ll see UNCG Chancellor Franklin D. Gilliam, Jr. announce the starting lineups and, at the seventh inning stretch, lead the crowd in the singing of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” (All Spartans, sing along.)

UNCG student Tucker Daniel will play “God Bless America” before the 7th inning stretch.

Spiro will throw out the first pitch.

The Bands of Sparta pep band and the Spirit Team will be on hand, and UNCG Athletics will have a concourse table for fans to register for “nine innings of giving.” After the game, enjoy fireworks!
