CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -Â The Boston College baseball team will host its Sixth Annual Military Appreciation Game on Saturday, May 5 against Louisville at 4 p.m. Teaming up with Wounded Warrior Project and Home Base, the Eagles will honor current and former U.S. military members. Local veterans will be part of the game, which is sponsored by Boston's Sweet Cheeks.
