Hornet Spirit Returns to Angel Stadium
Hornets showed up in full force to celebrate the return of Fullerton College Night at Angel Stadium on April 23. More than 700 students, staff, faculty, community, and family attended to cheer on the Los Angeles Angels and showcase their Hornet spirit.
Fullerton College ticket holders were given an Angels and Fullerton College co-branded baseball hat included as part of their $25 ticket purchase and further encouraged Hornet spirit at Angel Stadium. FC ticket holders could pick up their specially branded baseball hat at Gate 5. Nearby, Student Life and Leadership and the Office of Campus Communications greeted guests with games and gave away prizes at University Village. Guests enjoyed cornhole, Jenga, and other activities.
NOCCCD Chancellor Byron D. Clift Breland threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Before the game, Dr. Breland had the opportunity to practice his pitching at with the Fullerton College baseball program.
The Fullerton College section was brimming with Hornet spirit throughout the game. Fans cheered loudly as they were treated to two home runs by the Angels’ Mike Trout. One fan whose cheers echoed loudly throughout the stadium was none other than Interim President Contreras, who was enjoying the festivities alongside his family.
Even though the Angels lost 5-4 to the Baltimore Orioles, Fullerton College was able to end the night on a high note. Fullerton College raised $2,896 for Students of Distinction scholarships. Students of Distinction annually honor 20 students, who have demonstrated outstanding achievement at Fullerton College. This year, awardees will be recognized and honored at a ceremony on Friday May 6 at 5 p.m. sponsored by the Office of Student Life and Leadership.
The game ended with a fireworks show and was the perfect way to wrap up a spectacular event.
