CHICAGO (September 5, 2019) – Loyola University Chicago head men's basketball coach Porter Moser as well as team chaplain and recent centenarian Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, BVM, will be recognized when the Chicago Cubs take on the Cincinnati Reds September 18, as part of the evening's Loyola University Chicago Special Ticket Offer. 
 
Moser, who is entering his ninth season as Loyola's head coach, will throw a first pitch prior to the game and also will lead the crowd with "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," during the 7^thinning stretch.
