The Wright State baseball team will wear blue caps for the second game on May 13 to draw awareness and raise funds for Huntington's Disease, a congenital brain disorder that results in the progressive loss of both mental capacities and physical control. Game one versus Horizon League foe UIC is slated to start at Noon at Nischwitz Stadium.
Fans will have the chance to make contributions and buy a souvenir blue cap with the Raider logo on it. Tickets can be bought at the gate. Fans can also contribute by clicking here.
The Raiders have teamed with former WSU baseball standout and current Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim pitcher Joe Smith and his family who are raising awareness and research funds to find a cure for HD.
Smith's grandmother suffered from the disease. His mother, Lee, is currently battling HD.
