The fifty-eight year Easter Monday baseball rivalry between North Carolina State University and Wake Forest University had a the traditional fraternity celebration known as the PIKA Ball, held on the NC State campus, that followed it on Monday evening. Told from the view point of sports journalists, players, fans, and PIKA members, the narrative reveals the excitement and developing strategies as the contest traverses several baseball eras. At the height of its popularity, the game drew astonishingly large crowds of spectators, many of whom were absentee government workers, providing the impetus for the North Carolina State Legislature to declare Easter Monday to be a state holiday.
