“It’s going to be great having TAMUK back at Whataburger Field,” Hooks General Manager Brady Ballard said. “We appreciate the Javelinas pausing their regular season to make this spring training exhibition happen. Hog Nation travels well so I know there will be a lot of blue and gold in the ballpark. This will also be the first time we see the new Hooks uniforms in action. Don’t miss it!”
