3:28 p.m., Aug. 1, 2008--All UD alums, family members and friends are invited to join fellow Blue Hens at 7:05 p.m., Tuesday, Aug. 19, to watch the Wilmington Blue Rocks take on the Myrtle Beach Pelicans.

A pregame buffet dinner in the Blue Rocks Café at Frawley Stadium in Wilmington begins at 5:45 p.m. and will include a choice of chicken, beef, ham or pasta for entrees; vegetables, rice and potatoes as side items; a full salad bar, dinner rolls, pie and ice cream and nonalcoholic beverages.

The game seats are also in the Blue Rocks Café, and dessert and ballpark snacks will be available throughout the game.

Team mascot, Rocky Bluewinkle, will make a special guest appearance during the game, and Dave Arthur, Blue Rocks' director of community relations and '06 UD grad, also will stop by to welcome UD alums.

Aug. 19 is “Alumni Night” at the ballpark, so guests are encouraged to show school pride by wearing their UD gear.
