ALFRED, NY – Alfred University Baseball is preparing to host their first-ever home game at the Saxon Hill Sports Complex on Saturday, March 21 at 12:00 PM against Houghton University. With the generous support of donors, the Saxon Hill Sports Complex, an athletics and recreation facility on 40 acres of a 200-acre parcel of land, has allowed Alfred University athletics to expand intercollegiate athletics offerings and upon completion, it will support the growth of recreational opportunities for Alfred University students and the community.
The Saxons will celebrate ceremonial first pitches prior to the game which will feature generous Saxon Hill Sports Complex donors
Terry Galanis, Jr. H'19 and
Charlie Joyce H'22. Ceremonial first pitches will also be thrown by President
Mark Zupan and Associate Director of Student Experience, Athletics, and Recreation
Deb Steward. The stadium will be officially known as 'Galanis Baseball Stadium' with the press box named the 'Joyce Family Press Box'. The home and visiting team dugouts will be recognized for the support of
David Z. Chesnoff '76.
The Saxon Hill Sports Complex is located at 5248 Kenyon Road, roughly 2.5 miles from the Alfred University campus.
