The UMass Baseball Minutemen continue to up their game when it comes to community outreach. Not only did they send George Washington to the bus with a 16-3 demolition, they again welcomed Amherst Youth Baseball and Hadley-Amherst Youth Softball to their game at Lorden Field on Sunday, giving more than 60 youngsters the opportunity to join the pregame huddle and be on the field for the national anthem as well as allowing young Edward Robinson to man the PA mic for the 4th inning.

Coach Matt Reynolds and his players exemplify what it means to represent UMass on the field of play and to give back to their community. We at Amherst Baseball and Hadley-Amherst Softball can’t express our gratitude enough to the baseball Minutemen.

Thank you Coach Reynolds, and thank you Anthony Rosati and Mackenzie Kielblock in the Athletics Department. Go UMass.
