ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Baseball Night in Asheville will return on Friday, January 29 at Highland Brewing Company as fans can meet the 2016 Bulldog team and guest speaker Mitch Harris of the St. Louis Cardinals.
“We are excited to host our third annual Baseball Night in Asheville. This will be a great opportunity to meet your 2016 UNC Asheville Baseball team. Similar to previous years, we will have a silent and live auction, food, guest speaker and socializing. We are fortunate to have current Major League pitcher Mitch Harris as our guest speaker,” Bulldog head coach Scott Friedholm said. “We would like to give a special thank you to our corporate sponsors, Highland Brewery and Twisted Laurel. Without their support, this event would not be possible.”
This exciting night will feature a Silent and Live Auction on items ranging from signed MLB memorabilia to vacation resorts and much more. All proceeds will benefit the Baseball Enhancement Fund.
Tickets are $50 per person and will include heavy Hors D'oeuvres and two drink tickets. To purchase tickets, call 828-258-7900 or via this link. The event will run from 6-10:00 p.m.

He served as a United States Navy Lieutenant from 2008-2013 and has been a U.S. Navy Reservist since 2013. He was the first Navy graduate to reach the Majors in 94 years when he made his debut.
