Griffon Baseball will host Benedictine College on Sunday, October 18 in the annual Doug Minnis Charity Game at 1:37 p.m. at Griffon Park at the MWSU Spring Sports Complex.
The special start time in this fall scrimmage honors the late Hall of Fame coach's jersey number 37.
This annual game honors the memory of the late Griffon baseball founder, Doug Minnis, who died in 2019. A Kansas native, Minnis was MoWest's first ever baseball coach, leading the Griffons from 1970-1999.
His sons, Stephen and John Patrick, played baseball at Benedictine. His grandson, Jack, finished his playing career for the Ravens in 2024. Stephen Minnis currently serves as president of Bendectine College as well.
The inaugural Doug Minnis Charity Game took place in 2019 as a fall exhibition. Proceeds from the game will benefit the Alzheimer's Association.
