Rascals Playoff Preview

August 24, 2011 - Frontier League (FL)
River City Rascals News Release


Thursday, September 1st will be a date to mark on the calendar as the River City Rascals roll out all the stops to raise money for a longtime St. Louis coach. Clayton native Lonnie Maclin, who played in twelve games for the Cardinals in 1993, suffered a stroke back in January and the Rascals are asking the St. Louis baseball community to unite to show support for the longtime baseball coach.

Making the night extra special will be a big silent auction of items including items like a: Roy Halladay autographed baseball, Columbus Blue Jackets team autographed hockey stick, Jake Peavy autographed jersey, Dale Murphy autographed baseball card, Justin Upton autographed photo and an autographed canvas from Gene Cernan (Commander of Apollo 17), the "last man on the moon. All proceeds from the silent auction will help offset Lonnie Maclin's medical bills. Also, former St. Louis Cardinal players will be on hand to sign autographs.

Final 3-Game Stand

The River City Rascals wrap up their regular season home schedule with three games against the Southern Illinois Miners next week from Tuesday, August 30th - Thursday, September 1.
