UH baseball alumni game tomorrow

The Rainbow baseball team will play its yearly alumni game tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Les Murakami Stadium.

The game has been moved from its normal time just before the start of the season to the fall to accommodate the shortened schedule mandated by the NCAA.

UH returns three all-WAC honorees in pitcher Jared Alexander, infielder Greg Garcia and catcher Landon Hernandez. Tomorrow will be the first chance to see some of Hawaii's talented incoming recruiting class, which includes freshmen Kolten Wong and Lenny Linsky.

Admission is free and fans will have the opportunity to sit in the stadium's new seats in the lower level.
