The pre-game activities featured an on-field ceremony honoring Catholic elementary school valedictorians and salutatorians, sponsored by the Catholic Telemedia Network (CTN). Special baseball jerseys were presented to Bishop Brennan, Monsignor David Cassato, Vicar for Catholic Schools for the Diocese, and Schools Superintendent Dr. Thomas Chadzutko, who is retiring later this summer after 18 years as Superintendent.
The annual “Collars vs. Scholars” baseball game, featuring Diocesan priests competing against principals and school administrators, followed. The Scholars defeated the Collars by a score of 9-6. A Monsignor David Cassato bobblehead doll was distributed to fans in attendance.
