Round Rock Express News Release


For the second straight year, the Round Rock Express will team with Reckless Kelly for a Celebrity Softball Jam at The Dell Diamond. The 2010 event will be held Sunday, April 25, and will benefit the Miracle League at Town and Country, Little League of Austin and the Miracle League of San Antonio.

Tickets are available through the Round Rock Express ticket office at 512.255.2255 or online at www.RoundRockExpress.com. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 on the day of the event. Admission is free for children 12 and under with purchase of an adult ticket (one child per adult ticket).

The softball game will feature several performing artists, including Reckless Kelly, and stars from the sports world, including NASCAR's Kyle Petty and former boxing champion Jesse James Leija. Following the softball game, the audience will be invited onto the field to enjoy a concert featuring Reckless Kelly and Cross Canadian Ragweed along with several other acts. Festivities will conclude with a fireworks display.

"We wanted to create an event in our hometown that combines our love of music and baseball all while giving back to the community in a positive way," Reckless Kelly frontman Willy Braun said. "We're thrilled how this has come together. We expect this to be a fun, family oriented event that can grow over the years and help out some great chartities in Austin and beyond."

Last year's event attracted more than 6,000 fans and raised more than $35,000. Express Owner and C.E.O. Reid Ryan said he expects this year's event to be an even bigger success.

"For many fans, the idea of watching a softball game and a concert together was a foreign idea," Ryan said. "But once fans got to the event and saw how much fun there was to be had, it was a great experience. All season long, we heard so many comments from fans and people in the community about how much of a great time they had. We feel certain this year's event will be even better and raise even more funds for the local charities."
