RENO, Nev. – The University of Nevada baseball team will play the Reno Aces Tuesday April 5 at 6:00 p.m. in a fund raising exhibition game at Aces Ballpark. All proceeds go to the Nevada baseball program and tickets can be purchased for $10 at the Legacy Hall ticket office.

The exhibiton game will feature Aces pitchers and catchers playing for both teams, all players will use wood bats and pitchers will be on a pitch count. The Aces won last year’s contest 11-1, with Nevada’s lone run scored by senior Waylen Sing Chow who tripled to put himself in scoring position.

The game was attended by 3,631 fans and raised $15,000 for the Nevada baseball program. This year’s goal is to have 5,000 people in attendance. There is also a program in place for fans to purchase tickets for at-risk kids to attend this year’s game.

For more information on the exhibition game or to purchase tickets please contact Jerry Cail at 775-682-6908 or jcail@unr.edu
