For Immediate Release: April 26, 2002 BRONCS AT HOME FOR FINAL TWO DATES
EDINBURG,
TX –The University of Texas-Pan American baseball team will return
home for the final two home dates of the 2002 baseball season. The
Broncs will play NCAA Division II powers St. Mary’s (TX) Saturday, and
Incarnate Word Tuesday. Both dates will be doubleheaders, with
Saturday’s games beginning at 4:00 p.m. and Tuesday’s contests
slated for a 3:00 p.m. start. Saturday
will be Senior Day, and eight Bronc seniors will be honored. “Our
gratitude goes to the seniors,” said UTPA Head Coach Reggie Tredaway.
They will be dearly missed, that’s for sure.” Saturday’s
game will mark UTPA’s first home game in two weeks. “We’re a
little road-weary,” said Tredaway. “There’s no question that
we’re glad to be home for a week.” The
Rattlers are the defending NCAA Division II champions. St. Mary’s is
28-17 this season, and has won their last five games. Incarnate Word is
27-19 prior to their weekend series against Dallas Baptist. “St.
Mary’s won the Division II World series last year, and Incarnate Word
is a good team,” said Tredaway. “We have to go out and execute, and
we have to play well in all phases of the game.” Sophomore righthander Justin Bogy (West Columbia, TX/West Columbia HS), senior righthander Mike Calvert (Grapevine, TX/Grapevine HS/Navarro JC) and senior lefthander Frank James (Elgin, TX/Elgin HS/Navarro JC) will draw three of the starting assignments on the mound. The
game against St. Mary’s will be Little League Day. All Little League
players who show up in uniform will be admitted free of charge.
