A special Senior Night event has been scheduled for the Bakersfield High School baseball team. The Lions will be playing Thayer Monday evening at 5, and the game will be held at Hammons Field, the home venue for the Springfield Cardinals.
Bakersfield and Thayer both lost their baseball fields earlier this spring due to tornadoes and flooding. Shelter Insurance Agent Andrew Eckman of West Plains is partnering with Hammons Field to provide the game for both schools.
Prior to the game, the senior players for both baseball teams and Bakersfield’s softball squad will be recognized starting at 4:45. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend as they will escort their senior athletes on the field.
Admission will be $5 at the gate with cash or cards accepted. Concessions will be available with cards only.
