What a night at Las Vegas Ballpark! The Aviators wrapped up their last game of the season with Hispanic Heritage Month festivities, and the stands were rocking. Right in the middle of it all? Our very own Dr. Stacy Klippenstein, who got the honor of throwing out the first pitch.

Fresh off a trip to D.C., Dr. Klip looked fired up to be there. And CSN showed up just as big, cheer, baseball athletes, student government, Peter Guzman, and of course Cody the Coyote, who spent half the night hanging with Spruce the Goose for selfies. Everywhere you looked in the crowd, there was royal blue.

Cool fact: Dr. Klip is a lefty. When he took the mound, he joked he was going to throw 90 mph. The radar gun said 44, but the pitch was clean and straight down the middle. You could tell he’d done this before. The crowd loved it, lots of smiles, lots of cheers, and a ton of CSN pride pouring out of the stands. One student’s voice was hoarse just from all the cheering.

Between the music, the culture, and the energy of the game, it was one of those nights that just felt fun start to finish. A perfect sendoff for the season and a big win for CSN spirit.
