Reinstatement of baseball
[edit]The construction of the ballpark started in January 1987, a year before the baseball program was reinstated. It was officially named Cecil Ballow Baseball Complex in December 1987 in honor of Cecil Ballow, who was the school's former dean of students and pioneer in baseball where he also coached for 10 years.[1]
