MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis has broken ground on a 1,600 square-foot addition to the W.S. 'Babe' Howard Training Facility attached to FedExPark, University of Memphis Athletic Director Tom Bowen announced.

The facility expansion was made possible by the generosity of Ray and Laura Rosas, among other private donors and friends of the University of Memphis baseball program. Laura Rosas is the daughter of the late Babe Howard and has been a supporter of the Memphis baseball for several years.

"The most exciting things for me will be that we will now have a great place to get the team together for meetings, to watch video and to have team meals," Memphis head coach Daron Schoenrock said.
