Admission is free to the March 20 event, which will consist of two seven-inning games. Harper will be the away team.

Harper’s baseball players also have received attention for their work off the field. The team, coached by Dominic Milano, recently partnered with a fourth-grade classroom at Rupley Elementary School in Elk Grove Village. Team members visited on Thursdays and Fridays to encourage students and celebrate their accomplishments.
