N.C. State and Boston College are going to play a baseball game at Boston’s famous Fenway Park to help raise awareness for ALS.
Chris Combs hopes it’s the start of a trend.
The Wolfpack and Eagles will meet at Fenway, the home of the Boston Red Sox and the “Green Monster,” on April 22 in the second game of their regularly-scheduled ACC series. ESPNU will air the game between the two programs connected by a common cause.
Combs, a star first baseman at N.C. State in the mid-1990s, and Pete Frates, a standout centerfielder for the Eagles in the mid-2000s, both have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS.
