Volunteers are needed to house visiting baseball players

1-29-07

The Lewis-Clark State College baseball program is looking for people in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley to house visiting ballplayers for the 2007 season.

There are several visiting teams scheduled to play the Warriors at LCSC’s Harris Field that need volunteers to house the ballplayers because this is the only way many of these baseball programs can afford to come to Lewiston and participate in tournaments or a series of games. Most of the teams needing housing are during the first three weekends of the season in February and March.

Families will choose the number of players they would like to host (minimum of two) and provide a place to sleep, meals, and transportation for the players. In return, host families will receive an LCSC season baseball pass and food vouchers (gift certificates) to A&B Foods to help out with the cost of food.

The teams and dates for housing needs are Albertson (Feb. 16-17), Whitworth (Feb. 17) Missouri Western (Feb. 21-23), St. Martin’s (Feb. 21-24), Western Oregon (Feb. 23-24), Air Force, Southern Utah, and Utah Valley (March 1-4), California Baptist (April 2-4), Dixie State (April 5-7), and Linfield (May 5-6).

Anyone who can house two or more players on any of the above dates, or have a specific team request to host, are asked to call the LCSC baseball office at 792-2279 and ask for either Tyler Best or Lindsay Matthews.
