HATTIESBURG, Miss. - The Southern Miss baseball team will hold its second annual Fan Day, Sat., Feb. 5, beginning at 10 a.m., at Pete Taylor Park/Hill Denson Field, which will include a free kids camp, autograph session and intra-squad scrimmage.
"We had this event last year for the first time and it was a fantastic day not only for our fans but for our players and staff," said second-year coach Scott Berry. "This is a perfect way for our fans to get a look at our 2011 team as we get ready for the start of the season on Feb. 18, when we play host to Eastern Illinois."
The day starts with a 10 a.m., free baseball clinic for kids ages 4 through 13, with instruction provided by Southern Miss players and coaches. Registration for the free camp will begin at 9:30 a.m. At noon, fans will have the opportunity to meet the entire 2011 squad and coaching staff during an autograph session, followed by a 2 p.m., nine-inning, intra-squad scrimmage.
Throughout the day, the Southern Miss mascot Seymour will be on hand for pictures and autographs for this free event. Assorted inflatables will be set up for children to enjoy along with drinks provided by Powerade.
