Due to the potential for heavy rain overnight and early Saturday morning, the decision has been made to postpone the Lions Baseball Alumni game. Lions Head Coach Leo Murguia said it was a hard decision, but was the best decision. He thanked all of the Alumni who had signed up to come and play. The game is being moved to the end of the baseball season. Coach Murguia said if the Lions did not make the playoffs, the game would be played on Friday, May 1. If the Lions do advance to the postseason, the date will be pushed back. He added those who had ordered a t-shirt can contact him and make arrangements to pick it up.
