Scott Riley ’04 was normally a pitcher for the Little Giants, but he spent some time at shortstop fielding ground balls during batting practice for the 2010 Wabash College Alumni Baseball Game. Fifteen alumni returned to play one final time at Mud Hollow Field.

Wabash College Associate Director of Alumni and Parent Relations Mike Warren ’93 helped put the alumni game together. He's about to make a catch in the outfield on this play, but needs to keep those eyes on the ball.
