Nearly 900 Abilene Christian University and Texas Rangers fans turned out last night for the annual Arlington version of ACU Night at the Ballpark. The home team rallied big in the ninth inning but fell short, 12-11, against the visiting Baltimore Orioles.
 
Men’s basketball coach Joe Golding (’99) threw the game’s ceremonial first pitch (see video), continuing an ACU tradition that has included president Dr. Phil Schubert (’91), former U.S. Olympian and gold medalist Earl Young (’62), former MLB pitcher Bill Gilbreth (’69), and women’s basketball head coach Julie Goodenough.
