Yellowjacket Baseball to Give Sneak Peak This Weekend (10/6/05)

BILLINGS, MT – The Montana State-Billings baseball team will have its first public scrimmage this weekend at Cobb Field.  The “Yellowjacket Fall World Series” will feature up to five intrasquad games beginning with three over the weekend at Cobb Field

Saturday will feature a doubleheader beginning at noon at Cobb Field.  The teams will meet again on Sunday at noon at Cobb Field.  Admission is free to all games.  Unless one team sweeps all three games on the weekend, the best of five series will be concluded Monday at Pirtz Field.

“The Yellowjacket World Series is chance for the community to come out and get a sneak peak at the new team in town,” said Yellowjacket head coach Chris Brown.  “It is also a chance for the community to get out to the ballpark one more time this year, meet the players, and watch a little October baseball live.  It is a five game intrasquad series where the losers have to cook, serve dinner, and cater to the winners while they watch a playoff baseball game.”

The Yellowjackets, playing their first baseball in nearly three decades, are scheduled to open the regular season February 18 when the face Colorado Christian in Denver.  The home opener at Cobb Field is slated for March 17 against Northwest Nazarene University.
