TUSCULUM BASEBALL TO HOST “SELL-OUT SATURDAY” THIS WEEKEND AGAINST CARSON-NEWMAN

GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum College has designated this Saturday’s baseball doubleheader with Carson-Newman College as “Sell-Out Saturday”, announced College officials. Tusculum will be looking to establish a new school attendance record at Pioneer Park when TC takes on the 27^th-ranked Eagles.

Saturday’s doubleheader is slated for 1 p.m. and admission is $5. All Tusculum students, faculty and staff will be admitted free with a valid Tusculum ID. Children ages 5 and under will also be admitted free.

Several promotions and activities are planned throughout Saturday’s doubleheader.

Saturday’s twin-bill is part of a three-game South Atlantic Conference series between the Pioneers and Eagles, which will begin Friday night at 7 p.m.

Both Tusculum and Carson-Newman advanced to the NCAA Division II Tournament last year. Tusculum has won the SAC Championship the last three seasons. The two teams last met in the finals of the 2007 Food Lion SAC Tournament in Greenville, S.C., which Carson-Newman won to earn the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Playoffs.
