Take me out to the ballgame—Mason style

Body

Mason Night at National Park was a hit on Sept. 6. The Nationals beat the Mets 3-2, with faculty, staff, and alumni cheering them on. Mason even had a hand in the pregame festivities as Athletic Director Marvin Lewis threw out the ceremonial first pitch and alumnus Brandon Showell (BA Music, English '14) sang the national anthem.
