Bronx, N.Y. - The Fordham baseball program and the Diamond Club will have the 2011 Young Alumni Challenge Game at Houlihan Park on Saturday, October 1st, and welcomes all former players to RSVP for this annual celebration of outstanding Fordham Baseball tradition.

The event will begin at 11:30 AM with registration. Then, all alumni, including those who are not playing in the game, are given the chance to taking batting practice. A seven-inning exhibition between the alumni and the current Rams' team will follow with a post-game reception at Dagger John's Restaurant, concluding the day.

We encourage all baseball alumni and their families to participate to see old friends and teammates, as well as receive a sneak peek at the 2012 baseball squad under the direction of new Fordham baseball coach Kevin Leighton. Refreshments and snacks will be served at the event.

Alum Kris Kozlowski has been a staple for the Alumni pitching staff
