The second Fan the Fire event of the spring season will take place this Saturday, when the men's lacrosse and baseball teams host NESCAC foes on Bello and Huskins Fields, respectively.
The baseball team (12?6) will square off against NESCAC East counterpart Colby in a doubleheader, with games beginning at noon and 3:00 p.m. The twinbill will conclude a three?game series between the Jumbos and Mules that begins on Friday.
At Bello Field, the men's lacrosse team (9?2) will face Amherst and look to continue its charge up the NESCAC ladder. The No. 7 Jumbos, who regained a top?10 ranking in the latest United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association poll after downing non?conference Endicott, will look to keep putting the pressure on Trinity, which currently stands atop the conference standings.
Saturday's event is co?sponsored by Level the Field, an organization run by the Athletic Department that promotes teamwork, leadership and sportsmanship. The program gives middle school students in East Somerville a chance to interact with varsity Tufts athletes, who teach them about lessons and values developed through sports.
Free Fan the Fire t?shirts will be distributed at the event, and students who wear their Fan the Fire shirts will receive raffle tickets for prizes, including Fan the Fire blankets and long?sleeve shirts and Level the Field gear.
