TicketsCINCINNATI – Cincinnati Athletics has announced a full day of programming to celebrate 513 Day on Tuesday, May 13.
As part of the celebration of Cincinnati, UC Athletics is encouraging supporters to donate to the Athletics Impact Fund, which will give UC the support it needs to compete for championships.
"There's no place like Cincinnati, and 513 Day is our chance to recognize the people and pride that make it special," said Director of Athletics John Cunningham. "Our student-athletes represent the drive and toughness of this city every day. This celebration is for them, and for all Bearcats fans who support them."
513 Day Celebration:
Bearcat Journal will host its second-annual 513 Day livestream from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., available on YouTube.com/BearcatJournal. The 11-hour show will feature exclusive interviews with UC coaches, administrators, and student-athletes, as well as ticket giveaways for that night's baseball game.
ESPN 1530's Mo Egger Radio Show will go live from UC Baseball Stadium at 3 p.m. for a special on-site broadcast featuring guests from Cincinnati Athletics.
The UC baseball team is set to host Indiana at 6 p.m., with $2 general admission tickets and $2 hot dogs available for all fans. In addition, $5 domestic beers will be offered until first pitch.
