Florence Y'alls News Release


FLORENCE, KY - On Monday, the Florence Freedom will welcome the London Rippers to town for the first of a three game set.

But like every game at the Home of the Florence Freedom, there's always something going on besides baseball. Nothing could be more true when on Monday, the Freedom host Striking Out Cancer.

Thanks to 32 sponsors and growing, Monday will see more than 3,000 cancer survivors and families enjoy a night of hope, support, remembrance and of course, fun at the ballpark.

"Striking Out Cancer is an event that is always looked forward to each summer," Freedom General Manager Josh Anderson said. "The Freedom's motto is "˜So much more than baseball', and this is one of our marquee events to prove that."

Gates open Monday at 6:05 pm with first pitch slated for 7:05 pm. Fans still without tickets should contact the Freedom early Monday morning as only a handful of tickets remain for the soon to be sold out event.

Besides just the game, Monday's activities will include a post-game jersey auction as the Freedom don specialty pink-uniforms. Proceeds from jersey sales will be made to the I Have Wings Foundation.

The "˜not a dry eye' moment happens during the seventh inning stretch when cancer survivors/victims are welcomed down on the field to line the foul lines. Time will be taken until all are on the field. The remaining family members and fans will then show their support with a standing ovation.

The Freedom would like to recognize all the sponsors who helped make this night free of charge to over 3,000 cancer survivors and families.
