The Boston College baseball team will play its sixth annual ALS Awareness Game at Fenway Park on April 22, the Red Sox announced Wednesday.
The annual game, which features an Atlantic Coast Conference matchup with North Carolina State University this season, is played in honor of former Eagles captain Pete Frates, who was diagnosed with ALS in March 2012.
"Our relationship with Boston College is deep, and our personal connection to Pete Frates is even deeper," said Red Sox president Sam Kennedy. "Pete Frates has done so much to raise awareness and to raise funds for this terrible disease; he is a remarkable inspiration.
