Lynchburg Hillcats News Release
Lynchburg, Va. - The Lynchburg Hillcats are excited to announce that Jordan Jonas will appear at City Stadium on Wednesday, August 28. Jonas recently won the History Channel TV series Alone in the program's sixth season.
The 36-year-old Lynchburg native will throw out the first pitch against the Wilmington Blue Rocks, A-Adv. affiliate of the Kansas City Royals. In honor of Winning Wednesday, fans will be able to participate in a meet and greet with Jonas. He will have a table on the concourse with various items he made on the show to defeat the other nine contestants.
Alone is an American reality television series. It follows the self-documented daily struggles of 10 individuals as they survive in the wilderness for as long as possible using a limited amount of survival equipment. With the exception of medical check-ins, the participants are isolated from each other and all other humans.
The sixth season was filmed on Great Slave Lake's East Arm, near Lutselk?e, Northwest Territories in Canada. It was the first time the show shot in the subarctic. Filming took place last fall, ending in November.
Jonas was announced as the winner of Alone on Thursday, August 22. His attendance at City Stadium will be his first public appearance since being named the winner.
