University community invited to Night at the Newport Gulls

Members of the University community are invited to join alumni, parents and friends for Salve Regina’s Night at the Newport Gulls Friday, June 14. Opening ceremonies begin at 6:15 p.m. and the game starts at 6:35 p.m. as the Gulls take on the Holyoke Blue Sox at historic Cardines Field.

Several members of the Salve Regina community will participate in Friday night’s festivities. Class of 2013 valedictorian Ashley Bendiksen and new baseball head coach Eric Cirella ’05 will throw out the first pitch, while Kendall Jaquette, daughter of Jaclyn Jaquette, HR recruitment and data specialist at Salve Regina, will deliver the game ball to the starting pitcher.

Don St. Jean, instructor of performing arts, will sing the national anthem. Additionally, Salve Regina’s Challenger Little League team will be appearing during the opening ceremonies as baseball buddies.

Tickets are complimentary, but members of the Salve Regina community are asked to take only as many as they need for their family to attend the game. Faculty, staff and summer work-study students can pick up tickets in the Office of Human Resources. Alumni, parents and friends are asked to contact the Office of Alumni/Parent Programs at (800) 821-2343 or alumni@salve.edu to reserve their tickets.

During the game, special prizes will be awarded to individuals wearing Salve Regina gear. Parking is available in the municipal lot behind the Gateway Center for a reduced rate with a Newport Gulls ticket stub.
