(Allentown, Pa.) - The Lehigh Valley IronPigs will play host to a Miracle League exhibition game and also wear commemorative Miracle League inspired jerseys donated by Majestic Athletic during Monday's game at 7:05 p.m. against the Charlotte Knights. The game-worn jerseys will be auctioned off via an online auction with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley.

The Miracle League exhibition game will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. and in order to allow fans to watch the one-inning contest, all Coca-Cola Park gates will also open promptly at 5:30 p.m. An estimated 50 children will take part in the 3rd annual Miracle League game at Coca-Cola Park. During the game, each child will have the opportunity to bat and play in the field and IronPigs players will serve as "angels" and assist the players in various aspects of the game.

The Miracle League of the Lehigh Valley was founded in 2006, dedicated to providing children with special needs and other developmental disabilities an opportunity to play baseball.

"This game is extremely special for our players and their families," remarked Miracle League Executive Director Melissa Kocsis. "The opportunity to play baseball at Coca-Cola Park is a dream come true for all of our athletes and to have the involvement from the IronPigs players makes the day even more extraordinary."

Stephen Roche, Director of MLB Club Outfitting and Concession Sales for Majestic Athletic: "Majestic Athletic is proud to have such a strong partnership with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs and we couldn't be happier to donate the team's jerseys for this game and help benefit the Miracle League's noteworthy cause."
