If you're looking for a great way to usher in the hot days and balmy nights of the next season, let the boys of summer help.

This year's "Tennessee Tech Night with the Sounds" is set for Saturday, May 15, at Greer Stadium, where the Nashville Sounds will take on the Portland Beavers.

For just $10, you can catch a minor league baseball game, enjoy a picnic and be dazzled by a fireworks display. Plan to get there early, as the Sounds will be giving away free baseballs to the first 2,000 fans to arrive.

This year's event, coordinated by Alumni Relations, features an all-you-can-eat meal at the stadium's picnic area, plus door prizes and a post-game fireworks display. The picnic begins at 4:30 p.m., and the game starts at 6 p.m. The picnic includes hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, baked beans, potato salad and soft drinks.

Tickets for adults are $10; youth tickets for ages 2-12 are $5; and children under 2 are admitted free. Groups and families may request seats together; Alumni Relations will try to make your reservations as a group. Stadium parking is free.

For tickets, call 3205. Reservations should be made by 4:30 p.m., Thursday, May 13.
