HAMBURG, N.Y. --Dressed in blue and white Hilbert College attire, the college community will give a special send-off to the baseball and softball teams at 2:45 p.m. March 12 in the Hafner Recreation Center parking lot as players and coaches prepare to leave for their spring break games on the road. The Hawks teams will play several games in Florida during Hilbert’s spring break from classes the week of March 15.

At the send off, Father Michael Sajda, OFM Conv., Hilbert trustee and president of St. Francis High School, will offer a Franciscan blessing for a safe journey.
