TROY - The Tri-City Bombers travel baseball team have partnered with the Tri-City ValleyCats to put on the "TRI-CITY STRONG Sandlot Series," a day-long fundraiser event including several exhibition games for youth baseball players. The event is in support of Noah Roman, a 15-year-old on the Bombers who lost his entire family and home in a tragedy on February 9th of this year.
The event, to be held today, June 25, will be held at the Joseph L. Bruno Stadium, and feature a jamboree set-up of multiple 2-3 inning games from 2:00 to 8:00 p.m. Tickets will be $5.00, with net proceeds going directly to Noah's established trust fund.
"We are honored to be able to help Noah in any capacity we can," ValleyCats General Manager Matt Callahan said. "This event will bring our community together through the game that we all love to support an important cause."
There will be additional fundraising activities at the stadium throughout the day with traditional minor league baseball entertainment provided by the ValleyCats during the event. Concessions will be open and parking for the event is free. The event will include an opening ceremony, local honor guard, and traditional throwing of the first pitch by a local honoree.
"The game of baseball will not change the traumatic circumstances which have impacted Noah's life," Noah's coach Tom Forstner said. "However, we among the Tri-City Bombers baseball family will do our very best to support him and continue to provide Noah with a safe and positive environment to enjoy the game he loves."
