Baseball alumni return for weekend of activities

Despite some rainy weather, the Baseball Alumni Weekend March 12-14 was a success. Fifteen baseball alumni returned to campus for the activities that included a golf tournament.

Alumni traveled for as far away as Florida and as close as Knoxville for the event, which was to begin with free admittance to a baseball game between the Tusculum College Pioneers and the Carson-Newman Eagles on Friday evening. However, a band of rain showers that blanketed East Tennessee during the afternoon and evening led to a cancellation of that game.

The alumni then gathered on Saturday for a tailgate at Pioneer Park on Saturday afternoon before a doubleheader between Tusculum and Carson-Newman, which also saw a delay in the beginning of the second game due to rain.

The weather was a bit better for the alumni on Sunday morning as they gathered for a friendly, competitive golf tournament at the Nolichuky View Golf Course.

The alumni’s fees for the golf tournament went as a donation toward the Tusculum baseball program.

Below is a gathering of the alumni during the tailgate at Pioneer Park on Saturday afternoon.
