Bowling Green's baseball team has a new set of pinstripe uniforms through donations from Black Swamp Sports and former player Gary Haas and his wife Debbie.
The uniforms were worn for the first time and the donors were recognized at Saturday's game against Toledo.
Danny Schmitz, BG's head baseball coach, said it's been over 10 years since the Falcons have had new uniforms.
"Our last set of full uniforms was our old set of sleeveless pinstripe uniforms," Schmitz said. "Being a mid-major school and a non-revenue sport, it's getting tougher and tougher to stretch the pennies.
"For a Hall of Famer in Gary Haas and very good friends in Jon Treece and Jack Keiffer to step forward to do something nice for the program and nice for the kids, that shows what kind of Falcons they are," Schmitz added. "They are true Falcons."
Haas, an Eastwood High School graduate, was a captain on the 1972 BG team which won the Mid-American Conference championship and played in the NCAA regionals. Haas played for the Falcons from 1971-74 and was inducted into BG's athletics Hall of Fame in 1994.

AKRON — Bowling Green’s softball team rallied late, but Ball State held on for a 3-2 win Friday in an elimination game at the Mid-American Conference tournament.
Hannah Fulk’s two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth inning was BG’s only hit in the game and brought the Falcons within one run. However, the Cardinals held on to preserve the victory. BOX SCORE
BG had a chance to tie the game in the seventh when Andrea Arney drew a leadoff walk and was bunted to second by Katie Yoho.
The Falcons, however, couldn’t score as two ground outs to third ended the game.
BG, seeded third in the tournament, finished 36-22. Ball State, the MAC’s regular-season champion and West Division winner, improved to 40-14.

AKRON — Bowling Green’s softball team will have to go the long route to win the Mid-American Conference Tournament.
The Falcons dropped a heart-breaking 2-1 decision to Central Michigan in their tournament opener Wednesday night at Firestone Stadium.
BG, the No. 3 seed, has to win six games in the next three days to win the tournament. BOX SCORE
The Falcons, 35-21 overall, will play just once Thursday, that coming at 1:30 p.m. against arch-rival Toledo (18-37) in an elimination game. The eighth-seeded Rockets were 8-0 losers to No. 5 Western Michigan Wednesday morning.
The win over BG was the second of the day for sixth-seeded Central, which posted a 2-1 win over No. 7 Kent State in an afternoon game.
Against Central (28-25), the Falcons left eight runners on base and Central scored in the top of the sixth to break a 1-1 tie.
The teams traded fourth-inning runs.
BG had five hits, four singles and a double. Hannah Fulk singled twice for the Falcons, while Paige Berger doubled.
“We played a solid game, but we just couldn’t get that one hit we needed to break the game open,” BG coach Shannon Salsburg said.

CLEVELAND - Bowling Green's Shannon Salsburg was the coach of the year and the Falcons' Jamie Kertes was the freshman of the year on the All-Mid-American Conference softball team announced Tuesday.
BG junior Hannah Fulk joined Kertes on the All-MAC first-team, and Kertes was named to the all-conference first-team and the all-freshman team.
BG's Paris Imholz also was named to the all-freshman team.
Salsburg, in her sixth season, guided the Falcons to a 35-20 overall record, with a record of 15-7 record in MAC play.
Both win totals marked a new career high for Salsburg, who pushed her team past the 30-win mark for the first time since 2007, earning 15 conference wins for the first time since 2006.
The Falcons' 23-game turnaround from last season marks the biggest improvement in the country.
Kertes, a pitcher, has started 12 conference games, earning a record of 8-3 in her first year, one of the highest win totals in the conference.
