Dayton, Ohio - The Miami Valley's top high school baseball talent will be on display during the Bob Ross Classic on Thursday, August 2 at Fifth Third Field at 7 PM. The exhibition game, presented by the Bob Ross Auto Group, will showcase the best incoming high school seniors (Class of 2019) from schools across the Miami Valley.
The players participating in the 18th annual Bob Ross Classic were selected by area coaches and will be seniors in the upcoming school year. The exhibition serves as a springboard to college and professional baseball, as scouts and college coaches attend the game each year.
Admission to the game is free and the stadium gates will open one hour before the first pitch, at 6 PM. The Bob Ross Classic will feature the same attractions as Dayton Dragons games, with team mascots Heater and Gem, inflatables for kids, music, entertainment, and stadium concessions. A percentage of concession proceeds will benefit the Norma Ross Foundation - whose mission is to "support youth in [the Dayton] community, sponsor programs that aid cancer patients, and fund and advocate for organizations that continue to do breast cancer research".
