Inaugural Chris Combs ALS Baseball Classic set for Thursday at NC State

Chris Combs is all for the idea and any chance to raise money for ALS.

He’s just not that sure about the name his younger brother chose for the high school baseball doubleheader at N.C. State’s Doak Field on Thursday.

Broughton, Combs’ alma mater, will face Millbrook in the featured game at 8 p.m. in the inaugural Chris Combs ALS Baseball Classic. Sanderson and Leesville Road will meet in the first game at 5:30 p.m. All the proceeds will benefit the ALS Association of North Carolina.

“They didn’t ask me about the name,” said Combs, 41, who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, last May.
