🥎⚾ Celebrating Our Future Falcons! ⚾🥎

This week, OABCIG Softball and Baseball were proud to host Youth Night, recognizing the young athletes who are the future of our programs.

From our youngest players stepping onto the field to our varsity athletes leading the way, it was a special evening celebrating a shared love of the game and the strong tradition of Falcon athletics.

Thank you to all of the families, players, and fans who joined us and packed the stands. Your support means so much to our student-athletes, and we loved seeing our future Falcons alongside today's Falcons.

The future of OABCIG Baseball and Softball is bright, and we can't wait to watch these young players continue to grow—both on and off the field.
