ORONO — The University of Maine Dept. of Athletics will welcome Maine citizen-soldiers and their families to a Black Bear baseball doubleheader on Saturday, May 14. As part of UMaine’s contribution to Operation Community Support, a statewide effort to recognize and support those who have served during recent military conflicts, admission will be free for any person with a military identification and their spouses and children.

“We all appreciate the sacrifices made in recent times by Mainers who serve our country,” says UMaine Athletic Director Patrick Nero. “We are happy to be able to welcome those who have served recently and to invite all current military personnel to join them as our guests for a fun afternoon of Black Bear baseball.”

The Black Bears will square off with Northeastern at noon on May 14. In case of a weather postponement, the promotion will be moved to May 21 when Maine will play Binghamton, also at noon.
