"CBS13 Sports is thrilled to bring the River Cats/Giants contest to a wider audience on CW31," says Jay Howell, Vice President and General Manager of KOVR and KMAX-TV. "For those that can't attend the game, viewers will be able to experience this highly anticipated game."

His sentiment was echoed by Chip Maxson, General Manager of the River Cats: "We'd love to welcome everyone inside Raley Field for the River Cats and Giants game if we could. Fortunately, this provides a way for us to share this exciting matchup with even more fans in Northern California."
