Notre Dame will don special edition caps and socks to wear red for ALS Awareness. Fighting Irish head coach Mik Aoki and Boston College head coach Mike Gambino both coached Pete during his tenure at Boston College.
The baseball programs at Notre Dame and Boston College have always been indelibly linked throughout their history. Never has that been closer than in recent years, with former Eagles head coach Mik Aoki coaching the Fighting Irish in South Bend and the move of the program from the Big East into the ACC's Atlantic Division.
As part of their weekend series against Boston College, Notre Dame designated Saturday's game, televised on ESPN3 as part of the teams' three games, as the ALS Game to benefit the Pete Frates #3 Fund.
