April 10, 2015 | Baseball
Chestnut Hill, Mass. - On Thursday, the Boston College baseball team spent the afternoon with local veterans as part of an effort to honor current and former military for the Third Annual Wounded Warrior Project Game.
The Eagles played whiffle ball on the floor of Conte Forum with veterans and then held a barbecue. The group filled backpacks to send to Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., for returning military, complete with hand-written notes from the players and veterans.
After dinner, Wounded Warrior Project's Jason Braase, retired US Army, spoke about his experiences in combat and returning home. He also spoke to the BC community earlier in the day.
The Eagles will host the Third Annual Warrior Project Game on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Eddie Pellagrini Diamond at Commander Shea Field. Pregame ceremonies will start at 1:15 p.m.
