“We are honored to have Matt Williams be our speaker for the Bobby Dolan Baseball Dinner,” said University of Nevada head coach Jay Johnson prior to the event.  “Matt’s playing career and start to his managerial career speaks for itself and we could not be more excited to have one of this area’s own come back and be a big part of this great night for our program.”
