Shivers quickly gave way to smiles on this cold January day as the first Junior Lancer Team took the field on Saturday, January 23rd. Sponsored jointly by the Matt Blackwell Foundation and the USC Lancaster Athletic Department, the Junior Lancer Club connects our local youth (Grades K thru 5) to the athletic teams from USCL. On this "Diamond Day", as it was named, the Juniors interacted with the Lancer Baseball Team's players and coaches, playing games and receiving instructions on hitting, fielding, and the basic fundamentals of the game. There was also a photo session with the team and a chance for each Junior Lancer to have his picture made with his or her favorite player. Each child was presented a gift bag, which included an autographed baseball, a team T-shirt, Lancer Bucks to be used at the concession stand, Foundation and USCL stickers, and a book entitled "The Baseball Hero", dedicated and written in honor of Matt.  The day concluded with a hotdog lunch for all participants. Many other events are planned for the upcoming season and Junior Lancer memberships will be available throughout the year.
