Falcon baseball season kicks off this weekend in Cleburne, Texas with a three games series against Army in the first year of the Liberty Classic. The event was organized by Rick Wright, a graduate of the Air Force Academy to honor servicemen, veterans, health care workers, first responders, coaches, and teachers. An explanation of the festivities can be found here.

Air Force and Army have only been facing off on the baseball diamond since 2015, and the Falcons have dominated the series, winning 8 of the 11 games played, and the last 5 in a row.
