Charger Baseball Annual First Pitch Dinner

Join us on Saturday, January 24, 2026 for the 13th Annual First Pitch Dinner!

We appreciate your partnership in our baseball program as we push our student-athletes to be their best as players, students, and people. We hope that your enthusiasm for our team will increase throughout our 2026 season, particularly for our annual opening event.

Our annual First-Pitch Dinner is a lively event that helps launch our upcoming season. Our Dinner and Program will feature Joe "Spanky" McFarland, a 1976 Hillsdale College graduate and a successful NCAA DI college baseball coach at Northern Illinois and James Madison.
