Hey Fox students, staff, faculty and alumni: There are only four more games of townball this semester, ending on Sunday, Nov. 24. The games are played at Morse Athletic Fields on Sundays from 3 to 5 p.m.
Come try out an ancient-future sport that’s sort of like baseball, but not: There are five bases, you can steal first base whenever you want, you can peg the runners, there are no timeouts, and there are no foul balls.
Our group has played every Sunday this semester and invite you to come play before the holidays! You can also check us out online.
Questions? Contact Grant More at gmore17@georgefox.edu.
