ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – No tricks here, just a treat for University of New Mexico baseball fans as the annual Cherry and Silver Series is slated to begin on Thursday, October 31 at 6 p.m. out at Santa Ana Star Field.
This year’s series will be condensed down to a three-game series with games two and three taking place on Friday, November 1 and Saturday, November 2, respectively. As is the case for the series-opener, all games will have a first-pitch time of 6 p.m. and all games are free and open to the public.
As in year’s past, each game will feature honorary coaches for both the Cherry and Silver teams. Honorary coaches will rake the lineup to home plate, discuss strategy with assistant coaches and after the game be acknowledged and thanked for being a part of Lobo Baseball.
Full rosters for both Cherry and Silver teams will be finalized by Tuesday, October 29.
