NC State to Play Boston College in ALS Awareness Game at Fenway Park

CHESNUT HILL, Mass. – The NC State baseball team will play Boston College in the Sixth Annual ALS Awareness Game at Fenway Park on Saturday, April 22, announced Wednesday by the Boston Red Sox and Boston College.

First pitch is slated for 4 p.m. The game is played annually in honor of former Boston College captain Pete Frates, who was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 2012.

It marks the first season that the ALS Awareness Game will be held at Fenway Park and also the first time that Boston College will play an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) game at the venue.

Tickets will be general admission for $10 with all the proceeds benefitting the Pete Frates #3 Fund and can be purchased by clicking HERE. The fund was created to aid in Frates' medical costs not covered by health insurance.

Additionally, NC State baseball has a connection to ALS as former standout Chris Combs was diagnosed with the disease in May 2016. He played for the Wolfpack from 1994-97 and is also fighting to bring awareness.

The Wolfpack last played in a Major League Baseball (MLB) stadium in 1996 at the Metrodome, former home of the Minnesota Twins.
