NORFOLK, Va. -- One of the most heated college baseball rivalries in the state of Virginia will be put on display to honor the late VCU Baseball Coach Paul Keyes (ODU '84), who lost his courageous battle with cancer in November of 2012, when the Rams and Monarchs play in the Key Dog Strike Out Cancer Classic on May 17th at War Memorial Stadium in Hampton, Va.
Keyes was the head coach of the Rams for 18 years amassing 603 wins. He was also a four-year letter winner and standout for the Monarch baseball team, graduating from Old Dominion in 1984.
