Fun morning at the Demon Diamond





Among the many activities Saturday on campus, there couldn't have been many more irreverent than the Alumni Softball Game pitting former Demon players against the current team at the Demon Diamond.

Irreverent, because of the good natured heckling involved, but at the same time, it wasn't as if there wasn't some serious softball played.


As you can see above, it was a fun event.

As you can see from picture No. 2, it was also serious. There's no doubt that Michelle Castellano (30) was determined to add to the scoring total for the alumni, against Shelly's former teammates.

It was tremendous fun to visit with players from the 1980s, 1990s and recent alumni at the social on Friday night, during the game on Saturday and after the football game. The group was introduced during a TV timeout at Turpin Stadium and got a nice round of applause, deservedly, for a program that has been one of our best and fun to watch through the years.

Getting the long distance award among the alumni returning was Jamie Frasier, the delightfully dimpled catcher, who travelled in from Columbia, S.C., for the weekend.
