The Winthrop University baseball program is thrilled to announce a host of events marking the opening of the season this weekend. With a series set against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, baseball fans in the Rock Hill area are in for action-packed entertainment.

The weekend events conclude on Saturday with an Alumni Tailgate at the Winthrop Ballpark, starting at 1 p.m., an hour before the first pitch. The event represents a mighty reunion where past and present members of the Winthrop University community can reconnect over a love of baseball.
