"After seeing the devastation in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the players decided they wanted to help out," said Head Baseball Coach Randy Mazey. "It's frustrating to watch the images on television and not be able to help. The players came to me and asked about playing this game and collecting donations as a way of helping out."
