When the Asheville Tourists host the Augusta GreenJackets on Tuesday, Aug. 21, they are hoping to see a sea of purple in the stands since that night has been declared “51ƬNight.”
As part of the promotion, there will be a special 51Ƭ section
with 200 seats available for $7. The 51Ƭathletics department is asking all faculty,
staff, students, alumni and fans to show their school pride by wearing 51Ƭgear.
Men’s basketball coach Mark Prosser will throw out the first pitch. The game is set for 7:05 p.m. at McCormick Field. Tickets can be purchased in advanced or by calling the Tourists’ ticket office at 828-258-0428, ext. 3.
