Senior guard Shaquille Harrison was selected to deliver the pitch on behalf of the team. Flanked on the mound by his 14 teammates with camera phones capturing the action, Harrison toed the rubber, wound up and fired a fastball to Drillers pitcher Daniel Tillman, who was serving as catcher for the ceremonies. The natural lefty, who played baseball through eighth grade, displayed his ambidextrity by electing to throw the pitch with his right hand.

The Drillers, the AA affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, were playing their final regular season home game Friday.

The Golden Hurricane, which returns all eight main contributors and nine seniors, officially begins preseason practice on Oct. 3. Fans can see Tulsa in action on Nov. 7 when the Hurricane plays host to Haskell Indian Nations in an exhibtion game. TU opens the season Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. against Central Arkansas at the Donald W.
