YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) - The Eastern Michigan University Department of Athletics announced today that EMU baseball has received a $100,000 challenge gift from an anonymous donor and advocate of the program.
The gift, in support of renovating the Oestrike Stadium infield, was made with a challenge to other EMU alumni, friends and fans to step forward and rally together around the effort. The current infield turf is nearly 10 years old after being installed prior to the 2007 campaign. In addition, the newly revived Script E logo will be featured in the new turf and pay homage to E-Club Hall of Fame Head Coach Ron Oestrike and the teams of the past.
